Butler game thread

[Dish]

None of those girls they showed at the end is getting laid tonight.

[nyg]

Mu was up 40 to 28 with 14 minutes to go.

MU outscored 41 to 17 since that point. That's 17 points in basically a full half (counting OT).

Butler was not a good team and this was a bad loss for the team.

They may suck at basketball, but unlikebale?   really? is that not a bit much?

Very unlikeable group of players.

[MU_LOL]

For as much as we all hate Burr, he didn't lose the game for us

[only a warrior]

Statistically? Not remotely close

I was think more in terms of total points.  Up 12 and going to lose by 12.  24 point swing.  If it is worse, lordy

Homer/Mac's whining about him on the radio was unbearable.

Hard to root for, how's that? Jamil plays like crap, pushes a guy out of bounds, Gardner often acts like a dumbass as well, Mayo plays with his head up his ass...terrible shots, settling for jumpers, getting outworked...they just lack the makeup and personality we've all grown accustomed to.

Sad to say, but OT was a gift and MU didn't want it.

This offense is sad.

Buzz may not have the players who could execute his plays but he has to change it up to give them the best chance to win.

I think it's time for a change with the assistant COs.

Agreed, but that guy is the biggest homer referee there is.  You do not want him reffing if you are on the road.

This stands out pretty strong...

3. 1/15/2011: Louisville 71, Marquette 70

Just three months into its existence, the KFC Yum! Center gained its first signature moment when Louisville pulled off the "Miracle on Main."

Marquette dominated the game for significant stretches and led by 18 points with just 5:36 to play. But the Golden Eagles unraveled during the game's final five mintues, making just two field goals during that span and throwing away several chances to secure a key victory over the 17th-ranked Cardinals.

Preston Knowles took advantage. The senior captain hit four extremely difficult 3-pointer in rapid succession to bring U of L to within one and then, with the defense focused solely on him, found a wide-open Kyle Kuric for the game-winning lay-up.

"That's one of the top-five comebacks," said Rick Pitino. "They outplayed us for the first 34 minutes. I'm really proud of these guys. I'm shaking. It happened so fast."

Unlikable from a basketball perspective is fair and not too harsh. Doesn't mean unlikable as people

[geagles10]

Who the hell is Jake Powers/

I wish we did have a Jake Powers, sounds like a great player

[madtownwarrior]

yes, very hard team to watch...

Roseboro, Jamail Jones, Ferguson and Newbill must have been pretty bad to not have been able to play on this team. Good recruiting, Buzz.

+100000

[Dreadman24]

Now everyone us starting to see what been saying for years. BUZZ SUCKS AT RECRUITING

[Milwarriorkee]

Whether we would have been better off with Newbill instead of Wilson is a real question IMO.

[mileskishnish72]

One final aggravation - had Butler with 68 in the prediction contest and there was no way they would ever put up another shot with 6 seconds left. Jamil pushes the guy OOB and puts his hands up - what???? Not just for that, but he is getting on my short list of MU players that really piss me off.

[NickelDimer]

+100000

You post one dumb thing as afropuff, then give it +1000 with dread.  That's cute yo.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

SIgh....scoopers are sad people after losses

[muhoops1]

What continues to baffle me is this is a group of players that contributed to a team that went to the Elite 8 last year and they play awful all year. It's so frustrating to watch them....

Derrick and Jake had virtually nothin to do with the run to he final 8

OK but Devante, O'Tule, mayo and Jamil sure as hell did.  I mean split hairs there are some MAJOR contributors on the floor this year who have done little or nothing to will MU to a victory.

O'Tule looked terrible today.  He shuffles his feet and misses gimmes.  I know he's got a major obstacle to overcome, but honestly he looks worse this year.

The top 9 Guys in minutes played lead and play like freshmen...... they all look like frosh out there...

jamil, otule, mayo, thomas anyone when it counts... they dont show up...
