Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 4873912, member: 534"] [LIST=1] [*]Good to see Alex back. [*]Looking good on offense early -- defense, not so much. [*]As soon as I typed that, our D started picking up. [*]Weird scoring anomaly -- at 9:41 time out, all six Butler players who had been in the game had exactly two points each. [*]Tristen with the great block just before the half, then left his man open for a three on the ensuing inbound with 2 seconds. [*]At the half, 33 of our 35 points had come from Spencer, Clingan and Diarra. The three were 11 of 14. Tristen, Castle, Stewart and Johnson were scoreless. Alex got the other two points. [*]First half shooting percentages:[B] 58, 27, 75[/B] for the good guys, to [I]32, 22, 100 [/I]for them other guys. [*]Pretty awful start to the 2nd half. [*]Seems like we just can't get the separation we need. Every time we increase the lead, Butler answers. [*]Our motion offense, weaving around the perimeter seemed off. We looked indecisive on almost every pass. [*]Castle finally woke up with 10 minutes left and scored 5 quick points. [*]Despite coach Hurley's protestations, the offensive foul call on Spencer at mid-court was a good call. He'd actually been doing it all game, but that one was particularly egregious and there was no one else close to them so it really stood out. [*]Picked up our rebounding in the 2nd half. We had a 7 board disadvantage in the first half, and outrebounded Butler by 6 in the 2nd half. [*]12 pts from our bench, only 4 from Butler's. [*]Shooting percentages for the game were [B]47, 37, 79[/B] to [I]37, 22, 93[/I]. [*]Game was ugly, and the score was closer than it should have been. But at this point, a win is a win.
