Big East championship week …..

[Marat]

Butler playing well

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Lukosius is a problem. He’s a blast to watch until you play him though.

 

[gsmooth]

Providence playing down to the competition again I see. They’re the least impressive 24-4 team I think I’ve ever seen.

I respect Providence and what they have accomplished so far in this season, but yeah I am not impressed.

 

[superjohn]

Sarunas Marciulionis comparison is great for Lukosius, kid is a baller.

 

[Tenspro2002]

An under-discussed interest in this Tournament is that one possible avenue for getting up to the #4 line involves surpassing Providence.

If they lose to Butler, that would be 3 losses out of 6, and not a lot of signature wins over the latter part of the season.

I'd prefer to see UConn surpass PC by whooping them by 30 in the BET final.

 

[the Q]

Stop missing layups, butler…

 

[auror]

Lukosius is a problem. He’s a blast to watch until you play him though.

He forgot how to shoot today, though. 4/8 from 3 yesterday (sucks to be Xavier), 0/6 today. Season 26%.

 

[auror]

Really entertaining game though. Been tight the whole way. I assume Providence will win, because that's what they do (namely they draw a ton of fouls in the last 4 minutes and randomly make 3s after missing all game).

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Butler threw away a possession with about 1:40 left. They may regret that

 

[UncleSpliff]

Nate Watson might be the worst free throw shooter I’ve ever seen. He just heaves the ball at the hoop.

 

[awfuldan]

Come on Butler, need a basket here!

Hopefully their coach can draw up something that isn't a Lukosius step-back 3.

 

[UCfor3]

Watson laying bricks from the charity stripe.

 

[the Q]

Make up fouls to send Watson to the line, miss a foul on a layup with a minute left.

This is rough

 

[UCfor3]

Butler, like GTown wilting a bit in last couple minutes.

 

[Scoe]

Providence is used to winning these games and Butler is used to losing them.

 

[awfuldan]

Minaya with a DPOY-esque stop there.

Don't think you can go to Big Nate here. Too much of a liability at the line right now. Bynum time?

 

[the Q]

Butler, like GTown wilting a bit in last couple minutes.

Providence is used to winning these games and Butler is used to losing them.

Idk what you want

Butler guy is clearly fouled on the drive

Providence undeservedly gets the ball back and gets a 3

It’s trash

This has been a back week already for be officials. This game is a trainwreck

 

[awfuldan]

Ooh Durham - clutch shot. I guess that's why he's their "closer".

 

[HuskyinWRNY]

crap!

 

[the Q]

Another clear foul on 14 providence on the drive

They are handing this game this providence . Borderline intentional

Ooh Durham - clutch shot. I guess that's why he's their "closer".

Al Durham, 20% 3-point shooter, 0-4 so far in this game, makes the go-ahead 3.

 

[UncleSpliff]

Providence will win by the skin of their teeth again here against this trash Butler team for the third time.

 

[elmcityboy]

two looks at the rim for butler. tough one.

 

[HuskyinWRNY]

game over
