I don't like the tempo in this game. Need to up it abit. 32 possessions in first half for Quette. Need to be 36+ in second half. Seems minor but will make a difference.
Title: Re: Butler game thread
Post by: nyg on February 07, 2017, 08:58:24 PM
Bad News:  MU missed seven layups or two footers
                 Seven turnovers
                 JJJ, Cheatham, Rowsey = scoreless.......
                 Just terrible defense, terrible.  That last play, KR getting burned backdoor again, 3 pointers, just ugh.
                 Man to man, zone, etc., it just doesn't matter.  Can't win games like that.
   

Real Bad News:  They did it with Martin on bench, but will play in second half per coach.

Between the missed no footers n bricked fts its really a shame. 
Might be nice if iur coaching staff told our team that feeding the post from the top of the key is about the hardest pass in basketball.  We have at least 5 give aways trying to do this tonite.  Really stupid basketball

Shot selection just blows, especially after timeout, they can't even get shot off.  Then lets jack em up time.  If going to do that, at least have Rowsey in. 

Lappas is just killing MU for its defense.........

Exactly compare chrabacz to fisher.  He made plays, fischer bricked his fts, missed to unguarded layins and had a rebound come to him that he fumbled out of bounds.  Mental toughness vs a mental marshmallow.  Sad but you cant be good as a team having players that soft mentally

I'm sorry but this is a terrible exaggeration.  Fischer was the least of Marquette's problems today. Did he make every play he could?  No. Was he as terrible as you make him sound?  No way.

You weren't ripped on. It was pointed out to you that this team when 5-3 during a much tougher stretch of the season.

I thought the team played fine tonight. Lost by three to the second best team in the conference. Could of won but needed one more break to go there way. Gotta go 4-2 the rest of the way. Very possible with this squad. Also possible that they could go 0-6. Buckle up.

You blame the guy who went 9-14, 19 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists , 1 steal,  and 4 blocks for the loss? That speaks volumes.

Johnson, Cheatham, Reinhardt, and Rowsey had rough outings tonight. Any one of them has a slightly better outing and we win the game. If Howard doesn't get stuffed 5 times we win the game. If Rowsey doesn't get three soft fouls called on him we probably win the game.

+1....

Rowsey, KR and JJJ were 4 for 18 and some of those were just, well, terrible.  Heck one of the 4 was a 35 footer KR took with 20 seconds left on clock and actually went in.

Dont disagree but with that being said howard was trying to make a play.  did he miss uncontested layins or free throws or have rebounds land in his lap n drop out of bounds.  Winners make the winning plays during winning time

Again, I'm not sure what uncontested layins you are talking about. You and I might just have different definitions of uncontested.

Missed FTs, yep, they happen. Big surprise a 6-11 center struggles hitting free throws. On the list of issues in this game, no where near close to the top.

I know the dropped rebound you are talking about. There was a scrum, two Butler players were bumping and clawing for it. It gets knocked loose and Fischer touches it last. Again, it happens.

You are focused on the couple of small mistakes the best player on the team tonight made rather than the much bigger and more numerous mistakes others made. Why?

We just have to play better defense

I really don't think defense was our problem tonight. For us this was elite level defense. We didn't achieve our normal offensive efficiency.

I said in another thread but some players have to drive more and attack the rim

We attacked the rim a lot more tonight than we usually did. The results just weren't good. Johnson 0/4, Markus 1/6, Cheatham 0/2, Rowsey 0/1. There were also some drives that didn't get shots off but resulted in turnovers.

Butler won because they ran us off the three point line. We only attempted 21 threes which is below our average. The attempts we got weren't good either resulting in 8/21. We were lucky to get that as Reinhardt made an atrocious shot and at least 2 of Markus' makes were contested.

I think Rowsey's fouls really hurt us. He needs the least amount of space of anyone to get the the three off.

Our smaller guys have to dish more on the drive.  One problem we have is that other than Fischer, our other guards rarely make themselves available for the dish when we drive.  We sometimes have Fischer and usually guys in the corners.  Not that hard to defend.

Defense wasn't bad in the second half our offense absolutely sucked

Huh?? Their slowest player took it to the hole whenever he wanted.

Defense wasnt good but wasnt terrible in the second half.  Game was lost in the last 10 minutes of the first half where butler scored about 25 of their 68 points

When the announcers call out MU for having zero clue defensively, something is wrong.
Was at the game. Guessing that was Steve Lappas. He knows the game and will say it.

Direct quote from Lappas -

"Luke Fischer cannot guard anyone off the bounce at all!"

Defense was horrible.

Other than that, he had a fantastic game.

Good thing most centers, especially in college, can't go off the bounce.  He was scholarship player problem number 9 out of 9 scholarship players last night.
