MU/Butler Game Thread

That last 2 foot airball by Hamilton had D3 written all over it.

Feel Without Sean Tre and Caedin we would be 500

[mileskishnish72]

Man, this team has SO many GD ways to piss you off.

[rocky_warrior]

Caedin Honestly how do you shoot  a 2 footer 5 feet

It takes lots of practice.  Over 10k practice shots I hear.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

If Ross needs to pull a Jim Chones and leave early to pursue his NFL career I am good with it.

[MUEng92]

We have a 1950's game going on here

I hereby apologize to the 1950's for suggesting this crap was as bad as their basketball level. This is much worse

[MarquetteMike1977]

Caedin was ranked 98/99 out of big east players on Miya stats

[1SE]

I was hoping Shaka would've realized over the past couple of weeks that the team was playing better when Caiden and Tre and weren't on the court.

it's 4D chess

[WellsstreetWanderer]

Dismal shooting today.  Difficult to watch

[MuggsyB]

Stevens with 3 big triples. 

[Johnny B]

Caedin was ranked 98/99 out of big east players on Miya stats

Beat out Clarke?

[MuggsyB]

Caedin was ranked 98/99 out of big east players on Miya stats

Who was 99?

[MuggsyB]

No one cares about your kid Martelli. 

[MuggsyB]

Stop biting on the shot fake.

[MuggsyB]

Nigel just needs to rise up and take the 10 footer every so often. 

[mileskishnish72]

Well at least we didn't have the embarrassment of running that last play after a time-out.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

The most important news is our young core has 28 of our 32 points.

Our seniors, on the other hand, have 2 points on 1 - 7 shooting.  Chase has been absolutely horrendous. Ben does deserve credit for his defense and rebounding, however.

Spot on analysis.  There are 50 synonyms for abysmal that can be used here.  Absolutely atrocious.

At the half:

MU Freshmen: 6-16 FG, 4-4 FT, 19 points

Yep only way butler bigs can stop him is to sag off and anticipate the drive. Always a wide open step back available,

[Boone]

Did Hamilton MAKE or TAKE 10,000 hooks this summer?

[WhiteTrash]

Did Hamilton MAKE or TAKE 10,000 hooks this summer?

Did Shaka practice end of clock scenarios this summer? 

[Mu8891]

Hamilton TOOK 10,000 hook shots

He MADE 27 of them. 

[mileskishnish72]

We've had a full week to prepare for this one.

A mediocre team, BUTLER'S STARTING BACKCOURT NOT PLAYING.

Two airball threes and an airball three footer.  Three circus shot drives by Ross, Gold missing three wide open threes.  Missing threes, no problem for Shaka.  Thank goodness for Stevens. Missed free throws, including front end.  Aggressive defense leading to fouls, one by Gold 40 feet from basket.  On and on and on.

Believe MU gets the win with better play, but a loss to this team with two starters missing, at home would be terrible.
