Cain is much better than Bailey. If Cain didn’t gamble as much his D would be substantially better, too.

slow them down, take them out of their rhythm and give them less time on the clock with their set.

Agree. Dumb. And please don’t use that Butler didn’t score as proof that this was a good idea.
Just put unnecessary pressure on Sacar now going into the 2nd half.

Sacar getting his second isn’t great, but it’s smart strategy. Most teams run a 15 second set. Shortening that can disrupt flow. Basically forced them into iso.

Seems like most team's 15 second set is for one guy to dribble for the first 7 seconds any way
Title: Re: Butler Game Thread

Not at the expense of one of those fouls being on Sacar. Stupid.
18 seconds vs. 12 seconds vs.
8 seconds.
Terrible trade off.

It was a good idea.  They rushed into a simple pick and roll versus running a set.  I wouldn't do it regularly but it clearly worked there.

Why not? If you think it’s a good idea, and believe that strategy clearly worked there, why wouldn’t you use it regularly?
It’s a bad trade off. 2 fouls. One, to a player who may be needed to defend Baldwin deep in the 2nd half with 4 fouls. For what? Attempting to get the opposition to potentially rush their set one time? No way.

I mean I wouldn't use it regularly because you are most often in the bonus. Sorry but I disagree with you and think that Sacar going into the second half with two fouls isn't that big of a deal.

That’s what happens when Theo isn’t in foul trouble

Are these like Nintendo rules where the team in the lead doesn't get any benefits like normal fouls?

Did MU win by 10, reading these posts you would think they lost by 10. Right, did not play that well, but still won. Give the coach for Butler for making the game really hard for Markus

Yep.  Every game thread us just non stop whining.  As if the other team has nothing to do with the outcome.  As if every mistake is a personal affront.   Toddlers.

Because we won the game by 10 points, doesn’t negate the fact that our press break was absolutely horrible the last 3 minutes.
I find it odder that people on here think we shouldn’t comment on such a horrific display and be happy and content with the last 3 minutes......because we won.
It’s the game thread. This is where these things are brought up.
If some scoopers are absolutely thrilled regarding the end of the game......because we did enough to win.....good for you.
I’m thinking of future teams who are much better than Butler on the press. Needs to be cleaned up. That’s all.

The press break wasn't good.   Joey is a large part of the regular press break.   Joey had fouled out.   Ergo, we did not have our regular press break group out there against a very aggressive press.    Ergo, it did not flow.    IMO, it was a good learning experience.   And it gave them a marker of what needs worked on.      In a perfect world, I would want Joey, Sam, Markus, Bailey, and Chartouny in to break the press.   All handle the ball, all hit free throws, enough size to be able to throw over the top sometimes.   Chartouny had played next to nothing all game and Joey fouled out.    Sacar didn't look good.     

MU won by 10, Wojo has something to work on, fans have something to kvetch about.

You absolutely should comment on bad plays like the press break at the end. Why they kept tossing it to our worst FT shooter in the corner I will never understand. It was driving me batty. If this thread was a mix of comments on good plays and bad ones I would probably still participate. Lately, it has morphed into almost all comments on bad plays with the occasional complaint about the refs . That's not a bad thing, it just is.

Our press break was horrid and the lead shrunk from 13 to ......OMG 10 in 3 minutes. Fire Wojo! If they would have kept that up for another 9 minutes it would have been a one possession game!

some of us are at least one or two generations older than you and have higher expectations than a participation trophy.

I'm a millennial and don't expect participation trophies. A lot were given to me by boomers though which was weird.

Right? I'm 28. I never met someone growing up who received a participation trophy and said "Wow! Lucky me!"

Most of those went straight into the trash.

I think my first trophy was a participation trophy for being on a soccer team when I was 5. I was very excited about it at the time because I had never had a trophy before. Then I realized that I was going to get one every time I was on a team of any kind. Then they started going in the trash.

Or maybe because you want your children (even the ones that aren’t destined for athletic greatness) to stay engaged with sports and physical activity so they grow up to be healthy adults?
