Post by: real chili 83 on January 12, 2018, 05:11:10 PM
Bulldog livers tonight.  Indiana, corn fed livers.  Wrapped in bacon and served with frilly toothpicks. 

We feast tonight.  Another 30 pointer for Marcus.

GO WARRIORS!!!

Should be a solid game for the Big 3. Also I believe  Butler is going to be an easier matchup for all of our bigs, so I think Harry Froling is going to have his first quality Big East game.

Will be another high scoring fun game where we come out on top.

This game feels more important than most to me. I fear I might have a heart attack or a nervous breakdown before it ends.  My family is afraid to be around. They are all getting out of the house...

This would be a giant win.  Let's continue the momentum we have coming out of the Seton Hall win.  Big game from both Markus and Rowsey.

Let's play 40 minutes of Warrior basketball tonight to kick off the weekend right.

Ugh, Matt seems to get flustered when there's nothing between him and the hoop when he's got the ball. He's got to be more confident to just go up with it and take the easy bucket.

Post by: skianth16 on January 12, 2018, 06:01:27 PM
This nee defensive rule seems a bit too subjective. Howard can get hit in the face and also earn a foul? Seems like it should be a no call if the defender is too close.

Heldt has got ball three times, dribbles towards hoop, stops and like freezes.  Threw it away each time. Wojo sat him after last.

Butler annilating our bigs now, every basket inside.  7 in a row. 

Who said Baldwin wasn?t that good, he looks really good.  Long way, but need to hit shots.

Title: Re: Butler Game Thread
Post by: nyg on January 12, 2018, 06:24:21 PM
Hauser with 16 and Howard with 0. 

Butler shooting 64%, lots of layups....At least three with Harry coming out to top of key and not getting back in time.  Even announcers said same.  At one point Butler was 8 straight baskets.

Butler with six blocks and only two turnovers.

MU with only five fouls, but two on Markus.  For them, that is really good. 

More Theo please. 
Title: Re: Butler Game Thread

Markus is not forcing bad shots. I think he will come out of the box in the second half strong.

At half, Butler 15-21 in the paint (71%).  Marquette is 7-17 in the paint or 41%.  Bulldogs 17-23 from two (74%).  Love this New Age defense.

He's supposed to but doing that against a 6"6 guy is risky. Hedging on pick and rolls relies on the ballhandler not being able to see over the defense and make a pass. Great vision and pass by McDermott

Theo out, Heldt in and a Heldt foul for two.  Took three seconds. 

Just can?t stop Butler from making layups.  Offense been great, but my goodness we need a stop on consecutive possessions.  They are wide open almost every time.

This was a winnable game and MU pissed it away.  They haven't turned any corner.  They are an average team and nothing more.

The refs didn't take it away from them.

Where you in a #$hithole on Tuesday when we beat the #13 team?  Do you only come by when we lose?

Was at the game and said afterwards that I don't think SH will be ranked at season's end.

And one fluke win (fluke because MU didn't tank on defense) means nothing when you can't beat any other decent team.  The defensive issues happen far too often to be anything other than an indictment of Wojo's coaching ability.

If you think the refs had anything to do with this unbelievable MU choke job, it's you who needs a clue.

Good teams don't crumble like this.

Marquette trailed almost the entire game.  How long did we hold lead for, 2 or 3 minutes?  On the road against a team with one loss all year in that building?  That is not a choke job by an measure except by someone trying to troll to stir it up.
