Let's go now! Take care of business today. It's really that simple.
Oh ..the game is at 12 central? Fk. I guess I'll do another round of coffee.

But it is never too early for Bourbon, in no particular order: Larceny, Wild Turkey, Woodford Reserve, Buffalo Trace, Jim Beam and so on.
It's time for everyone to step-up side play like this is an elimination game. Attack with relentless force and unwavering power. Dominate. Win the FT battle, on the glass, and get nasty today.
STAGGERING NET NEGATIVE DEFENDERS!!!
Lavin just said MU was playing with house money. Bwahahahahaha
Kam is starting
Wow on Kam starting
That would explain it.
Defense is no where to be found
What in the world has happened to our D
Few possession in.. Kur doesn't have it
I'm not liking Kur's high hedge at all.
This is also gonna be another game where bad shooters just dont miss it appears
Lewis: brick by brick
We better establish an inside game
Already 3 different guys have made 3s for Butler. And they rebounded the 1 air ball.
I believe MU is on a "1 stop every 2 minutes" pace. Suboptimal
Can we please regain our defensive identity? It's frustrating on that end of the floor this month!
Our defense hasn't been good but of course they are not missing.
How is it we are getting our ass kicked by an inferior team on our home floor?

They aren't nearly as bad of shooters when they have 10 feet of space. Shaka needs to pack it in a bit.
We are letting them shot wide open threes and they are getting to the rim. Need to tighten up the D - have to stop them somewhere. Let's go!
Quote from: MuggsyB on February 26, 2022, 12:14:06 PM

Yeah thats the issue.
Its bad D mixed with trash can shooters not missing.
Terrible combo. And its happening every game right now.
We're too passive defensively on screens. Need to fight through them like we were on the winning streak. Too many switches are creating mismatches and wide open Butler shooters.
Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on February 26, 2022, 12:13:27 PM

I believe the only possession they haven't scored was when we got a gift steal.
Butler can't stay this hot. They will cool down
Kurs defensive position is atrocious

They won't but our 5's are fking ghosts out there.
Just keep jacking up 3's boys!!
That's five layups for Butler in first six minutes.
No defense at all. And we're also not boxing out.
Easy O rebound and cut to the hoop for another Butler basket
Oso is softest big I have seen in long time. Terrible D.
Wow, butler doing anything they want. They look much more confident today
So Butler will be a what 3 seed?
This is awful
Another disgusting efforr
Really poor effort so far. Butler scoring at will.
Butler might score 100

Agreed, but 2 footers are hard to miss
Is it national butler day??
Embarrassing.
Seven layups. Seven. That's terrible. No adjustments.
Jacking threes again, no boards. Better wake up, don't want to lose to Butler at home.
This is an embarassment. Turning exactly into the first game.
Can't stop them at all and as a result rushing stupid low percentage shots on offense to try and chase points.
Settle down and attack on offense(someone other than Greg) and get a goddamn stop
Golden killing us again. Shaka without a defensive clue. What a display of nutless defense.
Need a time out and to really lay into these guys. LEWIS nowhere to be found on both ends of the floor. Atrocious, pathetic, defense vs Golden. WHERE'S THE FIRE AND INTENSITY? Extremely upsetting.
Unreal really. Very poor start. Need to turn this around right now. Poor shooting, crap selection, etc. Get to the rim and draw some fouls. We are t hitting threes. Get inside. Now!
Shakachowski
We could put 5 Scoopers on the floor and score 80 points.
Our interior defense is non-existent.

NIT, here we come!
Guys standing still on defense while Butler drives for a layup at least 4-5 times already. If this was a movie i would be thinking they aren't even making it believable
As bad has Kur has been. And with Oso having two bad possessions. Playing lewis at the 5 for one minute was just dumb.

Keep pressing the entire game. What the hell is Prosper shooting from 30 feet.

Looking forward to developing in the G-league with good coaching, stiffer competition and playing the pro style ball while making some money.
Please just keep driving. THey cant stop it. Omax 3s that are 5 seconds into the clock they can stop
Wow. Terrible shot by Lewis.
I'd love to know what Shaka thinks. His coaching. His defensive scheme(s). Heck, he had a week to prep for this game.
Brick after brick. Put Lewis ass on bench for whole game, like you did with Kolek.
DJop!!
That was the ugliest successful drive I've ever seen
Good fking grief. A FT rebound!!?? Drives me up the wall.
Is it bad when our oppenent goes to the line, I just hope they make any free throw that wouldnt be a dead ball?
Get a rebound!!
Defensive intensity has ramped up. I like giving Stevie and Joplin some run in this game. Might be a good day to extend the rotation so we can keep applying 3/4 court pressure
Quote from: MuggsyB on February 26, 2022, 12:30:48 PM

I see your FT rebound and raise you an additional offensive rebound and 2 more FTs
Useless defense and useless rebounding are this teams MO.
Usually 4 to 5 guys on this team just watch the shot,nobody reacts!! Everytime!!
I'm at the point where I actually want the opponent to hit the second end of a free throw trip.
My kingdom for an defensive rebound
Maybe we need to have a sign with the rebound disparity next to the deflections.
Villanova must be kickin' themselves. We lost to Marquette...twice?

Its really sad that we both said this at the same time.
The play by play guy is more suited for golf. Very sleepy, get the man some coffee
Joplin has a really nice looking shot.
We will turn this around...... let's go....take the ball inside. Can get a score or kick out. Paint touches!
Lewis 0-4,climbing right up the draft charts!!
Butler is +8 on the glass and +5 on FTA's. Ramp up the intensity and exercise patience offensively and attack the paint.
OTOH, it's kind of amazing only down 4.

Exactly. Exactly, Exactly, Exactly.
What the.....
Jop attacking. Lets go
Sweet Jesus.
Absurd call.
Kur moves 2 feet back and gets foul???
That was weak as fu ck
I actually thought that was a foul on Kur live. Replay... not so much
I saw the Morsell swipe from behind coming from a thousand miles away. He is so damn sloppy dribbling the ball.
Nice foul differential
Quote from: willie warrior on February 26, 2022, 12:38:52 PM

The defensive fouls on us have been fouls. That Kur one on offense was trash.
We want to draw more fouls? Stop settlign for Js against a team that cant stop our driving.

That's Shaka style whole year. They go in, great. If not, keep it going, bound to go in.
MU playing better now. And the refs.....
What is a Center for Student Success? Another Union?
The defensive rebounding is driving me bananas. it's putrid.
The standing around on defense and rebounds could possibly make my head actually explode
Lewis seriously needs to get his head out of his ass. Not Playing intelligent basketball at all.
Our D should win this game
I won't call Lewis lazy but he does suck today! All of you who thought he was a lock for BEPOY look pretty silly right about now.
Need more comments about Lewis going pro. Not nearly ready!!!!!

If this half were all you had to go off.
Justin would be closer to following Perez to Manhattan than being drafted by an NBA team.
Hes gotta get it together.
Lewis needs to.sit

To answer my own question it's apparently the new name of a soon to be remodeled Memorial Library.
Regardless of todays outcome, playing like this, DePaul will rip Marquette's ass
I dont think Butler has scored a basket in 6 minutes

Looks like a student center/ library hybrid going were memorial is
At least rebound if you can't score
Neither team has made a basket in like five minutes.
This is gross. Reminds me of the GT butler game earlier this year
What are useless shot coming out of a timeout
Just like the Wojo years, this team looks worse as the season has worn on. I hope the guys can win this one and get it back together. I just don't understand the issue in February.
Nothing like playing like crap versus a crap team. Not looking good for a strong season finish.
And miss another bunny....

What's the Butler made layup count to?
Seriously though.
Greg, the one guy who struggles to dribble and chew bubble gum at the same time is getting to the rim whenever he wants.
We have like 7 guys more capable that should be doing the same thing.
Lewis just taking up space out there
Wow. Just brutal.
Justin and Daryl both being this bad shooting is just never going to be it.
Daryl had a couple good drives otherwise both look like they would rather be anywhere but here.
Goodness - what an absolutely dreadful first half. 😊

What a fiasco. Lewis for dog dump of game.
Lewis is not in this game for some reason. Maybe not feeling well. We need get crank up the D and get paint touches.
Why did Morsell take that. 31 seconds left, should have went for last shot. Now Butler has ball. Shaka just reeled him.
This team is horse crap again. What happened?
If they can't beat this crap butler team at home, I don't think I need to watch them again this year.
20 minutes to turn this season around otherwise we are headed for another Wojo style finish.

Daryl has probably the lowest BBall IQ on the team.
So, JL is 0-6 and the team D has given up about 12 layups. To quote John McEnroe, YOU CANT BE SERIOUS!
A pretty poorly executed first half. Let's have a great second half. And win this one!
How can we shoot so poor in our home gym
Fortunate to be down just 3 the way things started. We will blow them out in the second half.
We better get our act together or else lowly DePaul will ruin us.
Sure hope they can turn the half around. Losing two to butler pretty much negates the positives of this season.

Defense first 10, terrible
Defense second 10, great.
Offense, brutal. Butler went 1 for 15 at one point and MU is down.
Butler had 9 turnovers, MU didn't convert. MU 3 for 13 from three. Keep jacking them up.
Lewis 0 for 6, zero points, 2 bounds two turnovers
Kolek 0 for 2, zero points, one assist.
Lewis when he plays poorly, just seems like he doesn't care anymore. He was nailed to the floor for rebounding and no hustle except for one play.
Better get a head out of your a$$ speech from Shaka.
Playing like this, it looks like a Wed. Game at BET. Maybe we'll get lucky and play GT.
Lewis has to be way, way, way, way more patient. Go into the wide-post, recognize the double,, move the freaking basketball. Just an atrocious half

Not starting that way Judge.
2nd half start worse than the 1st half start
The 5's are sleeping
I'm sorry but the "Shaka offense" is not Daryl taking a dribble handoff int he corner, standing for 3 seconds then launching a 3.
Just dumb basketball.
Another slow start to this half
Is Nze the potential first round pick?
Nice f'ing start warriors. About 5 more butler points from turning this off.
OMG. What on earth are we doing out there? We look lost right now offensively.
Finally. Move the basketball.
Cmon Shaka. Be consistent. Get Lewis dead butt on the pines.
Let's go now!! Jlew on the board.
Smh. We're so slow to react.
Why can't we move the ball

I'm pretty sure that was successful to start the game. (TBH I don't like it either.)
15 minutes to salvage the season
We should be crushing these guys
Another sparkling play coming out of a timeout
How was that not a travel?
7-0 run to tie it. IMEDIATELY go back to brain dead basketball.
Incredible.
If they weren't somehow ONLY down by 3 I would have turned this off already. Hurts the eyes
Nice stupid pass Kolek.
It seems like Skaka is grasping at straws right now line-up wise. Has Kam been on the floor since early in the first half?

Anyone listening on the radio?...Tony Smith sounds disgusted
One pass and chuck it
MU is good at turnovers, fouling and jacking up threes.
Lets go right now.
If Kolek is going to throw no look passes towards the backcourt and then shoot off the dribble 3s, might as well bench him again.
Send a damn message.
Need kam - even w his terrible decision making
Still amazing to me that in nearly 1 and 3/4s a game against Butler, the only guy looking to drive every time is spot up shooter Greg.
LEARN FROM THE SENIOR.
This is ugly. Really ugly. Getting absolutely nothing offensively.
W T F is this...
Ellis must really be bad??
Thatta boy Stevie!!! This could change momentum.
What was the call?
Omax either needs to learn how to make WIDE OPEN 3s. Or put on 35 lbs and become a brute in the paint.
1 or the other.
Greg having a pretty good game. Good take by Omax; it just didn't go down.
If they were all playing like Stevie we'd be up 20
Ironically, the last time I saw this many back door cuts was last night when caught the last 30 minutes of Hoosiers
Wake me up when proposer makes another 3 this year. Stop shooting
Mitchell and Joplin have brought the most effort and energy today.
More Stevie and Jop. They are showing they care. And taking smart shots and drives.

Ok tehcnically that was not a smart shot by Stevie....but it worked.
LOL. Tie it up.
Immediately give up another back door hoop.
Its clockwork.
No foul there by Mitchell .
How in the hell can Lewis be in the game?
Justin....clank.
And now maybe the worst call the sport has seen on Stevie. Did he even touch him??
Every college team: tap out rebound leads to 3 for your team
MU: tap out rebound leads to fast break for other team
Lewis is 1-10 today. Ugh.

There is Justin. Attack.
Man....Oso should have grabbed that.
Finally some life
Maybe'''the turning point? Lets attack and close this. Play D and dont try dumb things.
Not sure why Morsell or Lewis aren't doing the bully ball to the hoop every possession.
(https://media3.giphy.com/media/xUNd9XfltRREDbvwBO/giphy.gif)
Butch Lee in the house. Awesome!
WOW
KABOOM!
Hes waking up
If they pull this out Stevie is POG
Great pass by Kolek, then Lewis loses Golden. Then Lewis fouls.
Stevie has an attitude! And I love it!
Why did Lewis leave his feet there??
Travel before the shot.
Stevie plays tough D just has to find the rest of his game
If MU will just keep aggressively attacking the rim, they have this.
Quote from: willie warrior on February 26, 2022, 01:46:50 PM
Then why does he lose Golden?
I didn't say hes dominating the game now. He also took a stupid step back 3.
But Justin looks far more engaged at least, which alone is a positive.
One of these days I'd like to see one of our guys take a charge on a drive to the rim.
Quote from: forgetful on February 26, 2022, 01:47:52 PM

We are also on the rare occaision about to hit the double bonus before intentional foul time. Have to attack.
Good defensive possession and then offensive possession. Let's go now!
We need a ten point lead the way we can self destruct
Great effort and mins from SM.
Lock them up on D
That was a wasted possession
We haven't made the drive shot all game
Oso might get bullied at will
But his length and quick hands on D have been absolutely huge this half.
Hes blocked a 3. Forced about 2-3 bad shot possessions guarding on the perimiter. And disrupted/stripped the ball like 4 times
Lrts finish.
Kolek absolutely must be in games at end to find open man. Has Shaka figured that out yet?
Do we go with O-Max to close or Kam, Greg, or Stevie?
The Oso gets bullied thing is true. But marquette is a better team with him out there than Kur.
Second most important on/off player this year. Behind only Lewis.

Wrong. Kur is a better rim protector.
Oso--cmon man
Man. Thought Oso had that. Absolutely can't foul and give them freebies.
Don't review please
Got lucky there.
C'mon Oso be ready for the pass man
Ughhh. Shoot that TK.
Quit passing to him!!!
That....was big time by Lewis.
Oso is a kitten when it comes to D or grabbing a pass. He should be on bench.
Curious what goes on in practice that neither of our bigs are ready for a damn pass.
TK drops dimes and they are simply never expecting it.
That would be ironic if we get this overturned after the last one
Man. Why foul. FK.
Unreal rebound
The FT rebound was SO obviously going to happen
Seriously, the opposition missing a free throw that we have to rebound is never advantage us.
Wow.
Wow with the free throw block outs. It's sickening.

JC, protect the defensive rebounds. Worst defensive rebounders in NCAA
Oso stripped, would of had dunk to go up 8. Nice play though by Butler who gets two points later.
Oso fumbles ball from Kolek, would had been a dunk to go up 8.
Two huge bumbles there.
Just can't finish because MU fouls and let's BU get points at line, no clock.
Another offensive board off missed shot.
Terrible. But Butler shooting themselves from line.
Give me some love Kam Jones. You can make layup.
Two huge plays by Kam. Getting that three touches rim that allowed the JLew put back and then that take. Let's go now!! Slam the door.
This team is so unpredictable, they drive me nuts
There is no way to improve that area of the game this late in the season. I sure hope we rebound it better next year.
Phew thank goodness, was stressed for a while there. Those 3 missed FTs in a row to close the lead felt like something that would happen to us usually haha
What's the call?
Foul on Butler
Why the hell is Oso in there when Kur is the rim protector?
Kolek is being held by his defender on in bounds.
SLAM
THE
DOOR
Country roaaaaaaads. Nice touch. A win is a win. Let's get these last 2.

Oso was big in the 2nd half.
We are days away from March.
Wins a win
(https://c.tenor.com/TsxjeebxeYMAAAAM/whew-relief.gif)
Line was 8
MU is the most piss poor putrid pukey defensive rebounding team in country.
Butler made 3-4 of their first three's. Made 3 in the first 3 minutes.
1-19 in the last 37 minutes of the game.
Cool, get to keep the MU flag up on the side of the house the rest of the day
Ugly, ugly win but it is still a W
Held Butler to 23 points in second half
Ugly but they got it done. Lewis much better in 2nd half. Calls to bench him are crazy. Dude is our star.
