Bench Play

[The Pickle]

Great effort by Williams and Fulce coming off the bench for Butler and Hayward and Acker played a great final 3 minutes of the half.  Mike Kelley said it best:  The team Marquette has on the floor is not a team I would expect to be extending the lead on Louisville's starters.  I know Kelley is a former Badger but I think he does a great job of color commentating.  Of course, anyone is better than Len Elmore...

I thought they did a great job as well. I just hope djo shows up in the second half.

Wow, a 10 point lead with Hayward scoreless and Butler with three points and Buycks not playing.  Add that to our 9 turnovers.  Unreal.

That last five minutes of bench play was insane.

This right here...if DJO can finally put together a full game..we definitely win.  Love DJO, but he has been streaky..if he can keep it going that will put us over the top.  Looks like Lville was intent to tke Hayward out of the game...offensively.  Couple tic-tack fouls on both Zar and Jimmy.  Amazing our bench extended the lead from 2 to 10 with those two on the bench.  Kudos to Fulce, Mo and Williams!

Is Buycks available or still with the respiratory infection?

Is Buycks available or still with the respiratory infection?

I presume he is still sick, he would have played for sure.

Hopefully this is a sign that the bench has turned the corner and will now be a factor in games...keeping my fingers crossed...if so, this team will be playing deep into the tournament.
