MU/Butler Game Thread

We don't seem to have any idea how to guard a simple pick & roll. 

The freshman are struggling with that.

[Johnny B]

Could be worse

[GoldenEagles03]

The two guys we counted on most to take leaps were Chase and Zaide.

One quit and the other looks like he wants to.

Aside from that there is actually some good happening. Royce and Damarius look awesome. Nigel is taking what's given to him whether pass or score. Phillips is gaining confidence...but man, Chase...

Man, our defense sucks. Our tallest guy is invariably outside the arc while people are jamming it unmolested.

[MuggsyB]

Great pass by MP. 

[MuggsyB]

Ugly trifecta from Chase.  Short all season.

It's a big, big, prob. 

[MarquetteMike1977]

Down 5 but feel there is a chance

[Ericdonpaul]

Ben's inside game is now better than his outside game. Didn't see that coming.

[MuggsyB]

Kiss the Sky FT's for DO.

There are definitely times where it looks like he's checked out.

[MuggsyB]

Chase is driving me nuts. 

[Johnny B]

Ross sux

[warriors141]

Difference in this game could very well end up being the amount of wide open dunks butler gets

[MuggsyB]

Couldn't ask for two better looks from distance.

[MuggsyB]

It's important to get a hoop here.  What will Shaka draw up?

[MuggsyB]

2 shots.

So tired watching that transpire game after game. I would love to as Shaka why he sticks with that since we are constantly burned by that defence

[Zog from Margo]

When MU starts shooting 3s, bad things happen.

The inability to stay in front of people on D is a big problem. The D breaks down too fast for rotations to occur.

[MuggsyB]

Get a freaking stop now. 

[MuggsyB]

Wow.  That was atrocious D by Chase.  WTF??  Very lucky. 

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

No clue what that announcer was talking about.

[basedcringeMU]

Mike Phillips has 2 of our 6 team assists

Butler is 1 for 10 from three, the other 14 field goals have been dunked, layups and paint.  That is just ridiculous.  Ben Gold going out past the three point line, gets picked, plays defense on guard, picker rolls to basket, Gold can't catch up, pass and dunk. Every....single....game. Why???

MU 2 for 12 from three, about right for them. Big free throw margin doesn't help either.

Excellent points. 

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and expecting different results.
