Butler Game Thread

[TSmith34, Inc.]

The ball never comes out of Rowsey's hand on ANY last possession

[nyg]

Get lead down with ball and Markus chucks up 25 footer, quick.  Ugh
Leads to basket, then turnover, then another Wideman.  Back to 15. 

Not...smart..basketball. 

[mayfairskatingrink]

So another season with no NCAA bid.

If next year is another bust, Wojo must go.

[forgetful]

Awful performance thus far. Not much else to say.

This.  Worst I've seen MU play in a long time.

If I was Wojo, I wouldn't come into the locker room.  I'd let them sit and think.  Get someone to step up.  They need to come together and sometimes it just has to be on the players to execute.

That was one awful half of basketball.

Need a whiteboard or two to be broken.

It's been discussed at length that tonight is not a must win game by any stretch of the imagination. Our tourney hopes are fine.

That's a huge overreaction,  If next year is a bust he's on the hot seat

Defense travels with you from game to game, offense doesn't. We have nothing to fall back on when offense is struggling.

[muhoops1]

Uh, no.  It's both....

nyg is right.  Bad on both ends.  I'm afraid my fandom has blinded me to this team's deficiencies.  Obviously hung over and stung from a tough loss but a loss here puts this team in a tougher spot.  Gotta win at home

He's a Badger troll so unless you're going to insult him I'd just ignore anything he says.

MU fouls: 8
BU fouls: 7

MU Free Throws:7-9
BU Free Throws:3-4       No big officiating issues guys.

Its 60% to 38%(fg) and no answer for Wideman.  Rowsey and Sam are 1 for 8..........

[DJO's Jaw]

This is reminding me of the Iowa game a few years back. Absolutely nothing good happening so far.

I mean, it's not looking great right now but that game was absolutely dreadful. I left that game at halftime and to this day it is the only Marquette game which I left early.

[willie warrior]

Face it Sports Fans, if the Warriors blow this game, and the way they are playing, it is not looking good, a fork can be stuck in this season, and the mantra will become, We"ll be really good next year." repeat and rinse.

And perhaps some will then be willing to admit that maybe, just maybe, a giant flamethrower needs to be affixed to Wojo's rump.

Terrible performance by our bigs. Morrow is going to make a huge difference next year. Unfortunately that does us no good now.

Sorry I'm new here

We need to smoke what he is.

[D'Lo Brown]

Uh, no.  It's both....

I don't really agree. This is the worst offensive performance we've had all year. Butler has made more than a few contested crazy-looking shots.

We don't have an answer for the wide man right now and he's going to kill us in the 2nd half most likely but, if we were making a regular amount of shots you'd feel totally different about the defense. The offense is the most important factor because by far the best thing we can do is limit our exposure defensively.

[peterpan]

The lazy turnovers were the most frustrating to me. Just carelessly throwing the ball out of bounds on multiple occasions. Huge game. Crapped the bed.

[MUBBau]

Guess we should just cancel the rest of the games this year since so many think the season is over with a loss

[mayfairskatingrink]

Sure, just like Froling was going to make a huge difference this year.

Did you not get enough attention as a child?

[Vander Blue Man Group]

It is still bizarre to me that MH and AR rarely play well at the same time. Perhaps it's because opponents decide to take one of them away but it's just odd.
