Attack and dismiss this Butler team.
Cannot condone dismissing Bulldogs.
Quote from: tower912 on Today at 07:03:18 PMCannot condone dismissing Bulldogs.
I didn't.
Chase's drives have been problematic.
Move the basketball.
Chase Ross looks ready for the workforce.
They're daring us to shoot.
Outhustled to the max so far.
Horrific start. Need a time-out.
Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on Today at 07:14:12 PMChase Ross looks ready for the workforce.
Is Chase on the Take
Piss poor 5 mins on both ends of the floor. So much for momentum.
Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on Today at 07:14:12 PMChase Ross looks ready for the workforce.
Doing what?
Butler has won their last 2 right
In all seriousness, is there a team/season record for fouling three-point shooters?
Wow I regret having optimism here
Shaka had his team set to play
Butler plugging the lane on D, recognizing that MU can't shoot. D is a problem, no change there.
Ben tweaked his ankle.
Air Caedin!
Clean Block by Royce.
Hamilton just made a layup, wow
Chase is on the take ha ha
Parham looks...
(https://media.tenor.com/ZovFQlrhGtMAAAAM/trippy-psychedelic.gif)
Nice stretch here. Parham and Owens continuing to step up. MU doing a better job of attacking the rim of late.
Parham and Owen's figuring it out? Or just wishful thinking that I will take back in 15 minutes
Royce And Damarius En Fuego
Let's Gooo Marquette!
Bad pass but way to come to the ball Chase sheesh
Way to secure the ball
Here we go until the dunk
Man I love the improvement from Royce. Every game he's just attacking relentlessly. He doesn't throw down with 1 hand on the move a month ago.
Marquette ball on the challenge Simpkins knew it
Ross has massively regressed ugh
Why the F is Chase forcing that???!!!
Get Chase out of the game man lol.
This is just getting sad for him.
Might want to go Zone or focus on Ajayi
Bam. MP!
Interior D is a disaster.
Ross outhustled again but nice floater .
Chase seems like he knows a bookie
Man that Phillips shooting form is absolutely perfect. Would love to see him take 5-7 shots a game to get him more acclimated.
Keep moving the rock & attacking. Get MP clean looks.
Move the ball once help comes.
It just amazes me how often we leave the best shooters wide open. Just stupidity.
We are stupid.
What the Zebra is going on?
Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on Today at 07:43:23 PMIt just amazes me how often we leave the best shooters wide open. Just stupidity.
We are stupid.
We bite a lot on the shot fake.
Passing off the bounce must improve.
Royce!!!!
That can't happen.
We don't seem to have any idea how to guard a simple pick & roll.
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 07:48:28 PMWe don't seem to have any idea how to guard a simple pick & roll.
The freshman are struggling with that.
Could be worse
The two guys we counted on most to take leaps were Chase and Zaide.
One quit and the other looks like he wants to.
Aside from that there is actually some good happening. Royce and Damarius look awesome. Nigel is taking what's given to him whether pass or score. Phillips is gaining confidence...but man, Chase...
Man, our defense sucks. Our tallest guy is invariably outside the arc while people are jamming it unmolested.
Great pass by MP.
Ugly trifecta from Chase. Short all season.
Quote from: mileskishnish72 on Today at 07:51:31 PMMan, our defense sucks. Our tallest guy is invariably outside the arc while people are jamming it unmolested.
It's a big, big, prob.
Down 5 but feel there is a chance
Ben's inside game is now better than his outside game. Didn't see that coming.
Kiss the Sky FT's for DO.

There are definitely times where it looks like he's checked out.
Chase is driving me nuts.
Ross sux
Difference in this game could very well end up being the amount of wide open dunks butler gets
Couldn't ask for two better looks from distance.
It's important to get a hoop here. What will Shaka draw up?
2 shots.
Quote from: mileskishnish72 on Today at 07:51:31 PMMan, our defense sucks. Our tallest guy is invariably outside the arc while people are jamming it unmolested.
So tired watching that transpire game after game. I would love to as Shaka why he sticks with that since we are constantly burned by that defence
When MU starts shooting 3s, bad things happen.
The inability to stay in front of people on D is a big problem. The D breaks down too fast for rotations to occur.
Get a freaking stop now.
Wow. That was atrocious D by Chase. WTF?? Very lucky.
No clue what that announcer was talking about.

Butler is 1 for 10 from three, the other 14 field goals have been dunked, layups and paint. That is just ridiculous. Ben Gold going out past the three point line, gets picked, plays defense on guard, picker rolls to basket, Gold can't catch up, pass and dunk. Every....single....game. Why???
MU 2 for 12 from three, about right for them. Big free throw margin doesn't help either.

Excellent points.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and expecting different results.
Chase and Ben are going to have to be better for us to steal this one imo.
You are watching the wrong thing. Watch MU guards fail to contain the dribble. Watch the MU big leave their man to stop the drive. Watch the bounce pass to the now open man. Watch nobody drop down to help.
Quote from: basedcringeMU on Today at 08:07:30 PMMike Phillips has 2 of our 6 team assists
Nigel has 5. So 2 of 7.
Love that we are competitive and the game is close. Also seeing young guys start to emerge is encouraging
Grab the frigging ball Chase. Smh.
Omfg!!! CATCH THE BALL CHASE!!! Fk.
Sweet Jesus.
Easy 2 on 1
Fk.
Not Steven's best game that's for sure. Defense continues to suck
Take care of the GD ball!

We're not containing the dribble at all.
The mistakes are laughable with this team!
Chase is bad
Better with Chase out
Round 6 killing us - again.

this stuff has nothing to do with talent. Rather, void of brain. Without these miscues, MU is up.
The Chase Ross go-to move...drive to no where
Unfortunately Ross cannot clear the rim for some reason
Chase should be playing 20 mins per game
Just a terrible percentage shot from Chase. Why? Move the ball.
Marquettes getting bizjacked around out there
Chase very fortunate there. I thought he walked.
2 big rebs from Caedin.
Ross should have given that up. Easy flush for AS.
This team should be significantly better even with our personnel issues. We are seeing some growth with RP and DO.
Team is so soft, maybe instead of recruiting all these skinny kids, he can find another physical kid in the portal.
Hamilton provides help and then bails, giving Ajayi a clear path to the hoop.
Turns and not catching the ball are killing us.
Dickie just called out Chase's D.
Quote from: BCHoopster on Today at 08:44:31 PMTeam is so soft, maybe instead of recruiting all these skinny kids, he can find another physical kid in the portal.
...need 2 legit bigs that give 10-12 pts, 6 boards and some D. Utah, give me 2! (Point Break reference)
Bring back James, Stevens, DO, Phillips, Parham, the RS's & incoming frosh, might be ok.
Benjamin!!
LFG!
Hamilton in why?
Chase has been MIA for quite a while. What happened?
Let's go now!!!
We can seize this game!!
Caedin has been a better positive force than Chase today
Take it to the hoop... and put some one on Bisdak.
Let's Gooo Marquette! Keep going! Fight!
Beautiful spin and finish from NJ.
Good grief!!! Value the rock.
Spin move turnovers? We are the best.
Quote from: Jay Bee on Today at 08:54:19 PMSpin move turnovers? We are the best.
Parhams always looking to go to that move

Egbuonu seems to fit this bill. Kid is built like a tank.
Quote from: Jay Bee on Today at 08:54:19 PMSpin move turnovers? We are the best.
If you don't know how to use the spin, go to option B.
This is setting up for a Chase Ross clank at the buzzer.
Need to do a better job of stopping the ball. They let a guy drive right down the middle of the zone. That can't happen. If MU is going to pick up so far out in man, they need to do better job of staying in front of the ball to slow down the penetration. Need a few breaks here.
What's with the Dayton commercial!?!
(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/09/ee/f1/09eef1b0ca89524d0cb90d5c7e1c7acf.gif)
Good dime there fron Chase. Let's go now!
Isn't that our ball?
MU is so much more competitive when they make shots at the rim. Talk about improvement.
Quote from: tower912 on Today at 08:58:59 PMMU is so much more competitive when they make shots at the rim. Talk about improvement.
But we must stop the ball and make at least a few triples.
Thought it clearly hit butler dudes shin but I guess maybe not??
Stopping the ball has been the issue all year that has yet to be fixed.
MU ball. Should have never gone their way initially.
Maybe that wakes Chase up.
Idiotic foul by Gold. Why?
Let's go now! Stop them!
Brutal.
Whoa! Benny.
Man....if we could just string a few stops together.
Seems like biz boy always goes off against us ::)
Happy to see Chase put a few in. I imagine it is frustrating for him this season
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 09:02:49 PMIdiotic foul by Gold. Why?
Not sure that's all Gold's fault. That's what he's coached to do. Bad move regardless.
Cannot make the triple.
Fk.
Man, Ross is brutal
Stevens isn't a good defender...
Dang this goes off the rails in an instant
Inexcusable sequence. Wake the F up.
This fkin guys can't throw it in the ocean
Not gonna miss Ross when he graduates
Terrible.
Poor coaching to teach Stevens to kick that out to Ross for a three. Finish it at the hoop and realize the 3 is not your friend. Stevens gave up a good shot for a bad shot. Very big momentum change.
This Bizzy joker sure is annoying
That should do it. Poop.
That was an upsetting few mins.
Dud (not stud or dude) of the game - Ross
Quote from: tower912 on Today at 09:13:31 PMThat should do it. Poop.
Bizzy has 26? Come on man!
Quote from: onepost on Today at 08:55:20 PMEgbuonu seems to fit this bill. Kid is built like a tank.
Agreed, but a freshman, so it would be nice to find a physical center!

He should of just pulled it back and waited.. picked up his dribble with a prayer of a drive and Ross pass is only option left
Went from down three to down nine fast.
Butler is experienced, fundamental and organized. We are none of those things.
Points in the paint by Butler was alarming
MU was careless with the ball and awful in stopping penetration all night.just amazed at how bad MU is defensively
It seems like a huge FT discrepancy.
We can't make open 3's. Truthfully we've been wide open a lot.
That's all she wrote.
Boy is this frustrating.
This season cannot end quickly enough.
I want to say we deserved better, but too many unforced errors, inexcusable D...coming in, I thought we'd get this one. 2-8 in the BE is mind blowing.
We stink
Can't make shots, can't win

Ohhh completely agree with you. He needs to bring in more big bodies, but at least we're seeing some change already.

Conference wins by this point
What a bummer
Bad defense, can't consistently even shoot halfway decent from 3, piss poor end of game execution
The constant flurry of mistakes kills this team. A couple of veranda could help this young team
Quote from: BCHoopster on Today at 09:15:23 PMAgreed, but a freshman, so it would be nice to find a physical center!
I mean we need physical players who can play any level of defense. looking like a Kimmy or Wojo team out there
Quote from: warriors141 on Today at 09:20:29 PMBad defense, can't consistently even shoot halfway decent from 3, piss poor end of game execution
5 for 27 from 3. Omg.
I like the effort. Inability to contain the dribble has been the problem all season. Well, and 3 pt shooting.
5/27 from 3.
14 turnovers.
31 to 14 FT discrepancy (23 to 9 makes).
No player with 6 or more rebounds.
Quote from: GoldenWarrior11 on Today at 09:15:52 PMWent from down three to down nine fast.

Yeah, but they're a mix of freshman recruits and transfers. That's not RGV and that's the real victory
It's frustrating when our opponent has the three as a weapon and we do not.
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 09:17:06 PMIt seems like a huge FT discrepancy.

The MU team just has bad shooters. I'm surprised when one actually drops. The 3 should always be the last option for this team. Butler did a good job of attacking the ball when MU did get in the paint, knowing MU can't hurt anyone from 3. The loss is no surprise. Defense travels and MU is terrible on D.
Quote from: Viper on Today at 09:13:13 PMThis Bizzy joker sure is annoying
I'd take him in heartbeat. He has made more free throws than entire MU team (12 for 13) to MU's nine, and almost as many threes (4) to MU's five.
MU gets it to two and typical Shaka offense, let's get three happy again, fails. 5 for 27. Terrible
Parham sort of disappeared in second half, think he had two points.
I am truly amazed how Ross has regressed in BE play, for a player who was selected to first team BE. It is just not one aspect of his game, but an entirely of all. Oh well......
Encouraged by lots of moments from Nigel, Royce, and Damarius. Encouraged that Tre played 1 minute.
Hard to win when you shoot 5-27 from deep and when your senior leaders make mistake after mistake. But there's a significant shift in this team from December the more this has become Nigel's show.
We need more size and we need better shooting. Hopefully Shaka can make those changes in April.
Just focus on the positives from the young guys.
This stuff is not worth getting too frustrated or upset over at this point.

100%. Losses haven't fazed me in weeks haha. Now I only focus on the development of the underclassmen and watching in that regard has been much more enjoyable.
It's just that we were getting layup after layup and at winning time we decided to stop getting layups and start chucking threes. This team frustrates me so much I can't stand it.
100% Focus and understanding how to execute is an issue.
What was interesting and totally poor coaching was bringing in Norman and Hamilton at the same time, luckily he saw that and took both out after a minute. He must have realized how stupid that was. Stevens showed tonight, why they need to bring another guard in. Still wonder how Walker does in practice? Is he the answer next year or a transfer?
