Butler post game thread

Not to derail yet another discussion about our school's arenas...

But I just re-watched the game (I was there in person) and to me, it looked like Posh did intentionally undercut Clingan at midcourt. Did anyone else who re-watched agree with this? was there any discussion in the chat about this? I am not sure why he did it, maybe to try to draw something but to me it looked he purposely leaned into Clingan as he ran by. Sorta like a hockey hip check.

What I saw was that Posh volitionally backed his butt into DC as he moved his body away from where the ball was.

Compare his numbers to Hassan Diarra or Ball--He'd have no where to play.

I threw Spencer in there for the heck of it :D

Ball17.14.41.40.4

It’s amazing how good Diarra really is. Diarra is kinda shackled by limited minutes, and deferring to the starters when he plays, but the guy makes us better, whenever he is on the court. I’m actually excited to see what he does next year, when he gets more minutes and less of a leash.

I have no idea what kind of defense Timberlake provides, but while he doesn't stack up to what Diarra provides, the numbers you've posted don't imply he couldn't replace Ball. And with Dan Hurley's coaching, who knows if he'd be even better?

Clingan fouled him quite hard not long after. I want shocked.

He’s improved a lot in the past year. He fits right in.

When he initially arrived I was thankful Gaffney was gone and didn’t really care how good Diarra was since he wasn’t going to play much anyway. Now I look forward to Diarra entering the game. It’s amazing how much better Diarra has become. He must have put in a tremendous amount of hard work.
Nothing against Gaffney but he didn’t fit in here but to his credit, he’s doing well for Houston.

Just got back home. I've defended the civic center for a long time, but we should never play another game in Hartford. The students are silent there now for whatever reason. We're the number 1 team in the country and play half our games on a borderline neutral court. I know the people who don't live in the area and attend games are probably sick of the argument. However, it's gotten worse than the AAC days downtown. I can't articulate how bad it's gotten. If you've been to games this year, you know.

Maybe the fans are just spoiled. It's hard to get excited about a game when your team is ranked #1, playing a team you beat by 7 away a month earlier playing shorthanded and you're looking to win by 15 going away.
We moved away about 15 years ago and I'll never forget how loud the "Civic Center" got in consecutive games against Syracuse and Georgetown in 1990 and many other games as well over the years we had season tickets to the CC and Gampel.
Even back in the 90's people often commented about how the CC wasn't a good home court but I felt it was electric in big games and not much different than Gampel in OOC games.

“A borderline neutral court”. You obviously haven’t been to a game there this year. Total joke of a comment!

It’s the same as you recall. Crowd was great! The guy that said it’s a neutral court is a tool.

the term neutral court implies a 50/50 split of fans. Big East teams are bringing a infinitesimal fraction of that to Hartford.
 
I'm kind of curious as to what goes into capturing crowd sounds at a game. Like literally, what mikes are meant to pick that up, and if there is an art to it, and if some crews are better than others with it. I've heard many times that a game was loud in person but it felt sleepy on TV.

I think there is technology that can dampen crowd noise.
