Butler thread

[MUEng92]

Those inbounds plays take a LONG time to develop

[Shaka Shart]

Hmmmm....KenPom had this 76-70

No stud of the game if Butler scores 2 more points

[Miss Katie’s]

I'm happy he's still standing at this point.

Agreed.  He gets absolutely mauled.

True. 

[MUEng92]

MILKSHAKES!!!

[Judge Smails]

Very impressive win

[MuggsyB]

Great effort once Kam got his 4th. 

[Zog from Margo]

Nice adjustments. Stevie and Chase get it done. Nice contributions from the bench. More intensity on D in the second half.

[Uncle Rico]

Butler scored 27 points in the second half.  It was 51-50 when Kam picked up his 4th.  27-19 after that.  Marquette equaled Butler's second half total in closing it out.

Have a smoke

WTF just woke up and San Diego St is playing San José St. Did MU lose again??

[fjm]

3,100 posts. And thoughts like this make it from brain to keyboard?

The offense looked so much more smooth with Kam on the bench. The ball sticks in Kams hands sometimes, and I'm not complaining cause he's the best, but tonight the flow was better when everyone was involved.

WYF just woke up and San Diego St is playing San José St. Did MU lose again??

Yes.  This team is lost

[GB Warrior]

Man I love the Big East getting the respect of a post-game interview

[TallTitan34]

Very impressive win

PGsHeroes32 is not impressed.

[Newsdreams]

Yes.  This team is lost

Oh Fck, this is sad. Totally unacceptable. Why the F I'm risking my life going to Milwaukee this weekend? Got to do more bongs to relax.

I'm not trying to pile on but it seems like you're basing this on a couple shots falling from freshman. Everything looks good when the shots fall. I know you aren't suggesting that our offense is better without the possibly best offensive player in the country

[GoldenEagles03]

That's been 80% of our conference opponents in the 1st half. Gotta figure that out.

I'll take us in the 2nd half because we have Stevie and his will to win usually gets the job done. It'd be nice if he got some others to join him though.

Pretty much. Stevie.

Positive regression ahead for MU in the 2H. So has been the story of the season...

As I was saying...

[Newsdreams]

All facts

LOL

[Newsdreams]

Good explosion there from Chase.

Chase exploded?? Hopefully he can play Saturday.

I'm not suggesting that Carl. But both things can be true. Kam can be our best player by a lot. But our offense can still look more smooth tonight without him.

Edit: for example, that was the best play I've seen all year against the zone. And while Kam was on the bench, it would have been the sophomores who hit some shots. But so did Stevie, Chase, and Joplin.

[GB Warrior]

I will say that Royce's worst timed 3s (trailing, momentum slipping) have anecdotally been the ones he's hit.

The kid does not lack for confidence and I hope we reap the benefits over the next 3 years

[Newsdreams]

Thanks for enjoyable comedy!

[Scoop Snoop]

Chase exploded?? Hopefully he can play Saturday.

I think that's Muggsy's way of saying Chase let a big fart rip.

Do not recognize the game I was at from the game thread.   I have to believe at this point that it is all satire, sarcasm, and irony.   Thank you all for the laughs.
