Butler

[Fred Garvin]

Someone wake him up! He's not playing on either end!

[nyg]

He has missed at least four two footers in second half.  Was on Hansbrough and got schooled, DJO on him now. Terrible

[chapman]

No points for over 33 minutes until that last shot.

[Fred Garvin]

Nothing from Vander,Buykes,Butler,Otule. Pretty hard to win that way,I guess I'm surprised we only lost by 5.Good game by DJO

[MUBurrow]

after watching the game, I would not be at all surprised to hear that Jimmy is simply sick or something.  After watching him for as many years as we have, we know he's tough as sh*t, clutch, and loves big games.  That being said, dude just didn't have it tonight.  But given his high basketball IQ and the way he usually gets himself involved even when things aren't going his way, I think something might be up that he was kind of invisible tonight.

Why does Buzz have to play him every minute of the game? Sit him down.

If you haven't noticed, this team struggles any time Butler, Crowder, DJO or Buycks sits.

Jimmy missed bad on a jumper than turned it over. If that's any other player, they come out. (I'm just saying sit him for a minute to get a blow and clear his head on the bench)

Only DJO had any spark in the second half. Butler has to go up stronger,he gets it blocked or ripped away,and he had the 10 foot shot there all nite,why can't he stroke that

[Jacks DC]

He goes up looking to get fouled and wasn't getting the calls tonight.  One free throw.

+1

Butler normally would have had at least 6 more FTAs and at least 3 fewer missed shots. So goes life on the road in the Big East.

My biggest knock against Jimmy is that he has to go up strong to score and hope to get the call, not go up to get the call and hope to score.
