Butler Post Game Thread

[temery]

here comes the drama queens

This is a deeply flawed team. There’s no urgency, no killer instinct, no fight.

One of Dan’s worst coached games I can recall. He’s shown in back to back games an inability to deviate defensively from the initial game plan. The lack of timeouts during Butler’s runs is concerning.

The book is out on how to beat UConn. ISO ball and taking every single one of our defenders off the dribble. Karaban gets skated by. Mahaney gets skated by, Stewart gets skated by, Ball gets skated by, Ross gets skated by.

This team is headed towards the bubble.

We escaped. Better lucky than good sometimes.

 

[NowInStorrs]

Whew.

 

[Vowelguy]

When does Liam come back?

 

[uconntoatl]

Glad we won. Even more glad I don’t have to watch a dude named Finley Bizjack light us up anymore

 

[HuskyFich]

Do everything to lose but lose. Fun.

Hell of a game for Samson.

Also, if anyone caught Hurley yelling at the ref in the first half….its arguably the greatest lip reading opportunity that we’ve seen so far.

Sheesh.

 

[AntG168]

Liam you can come back now

 

[Jhuskie89]

Hard to watch this team

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Man, it’s disappointing that only Diarra and Karaban are the only guys trusted to make plays with the ball in the final seconds.

We escaped. Better lucky than good sometimes.

Ya but it'd be cool if we could be just a little good-er

It's good to win, it's better than losing, but my goodness this performance did not instill any confidence. We all better hope McNeeley's ankle heals faster and better than expected. His return won't cure anything and everything, but they will be better than this.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

McNeeley back will help, but the defense has to improve if we hope to even make sweet 16.

 

[TheHorde]

I’d rather not disprove the whole cant win a close game thing this often. That wasn’t great for the blood pressure.

 

[HailUConn]

Let's not sugarcoat, this team is not seeing post-season without Liam.

 

[Mister P]

Great game by the centers.
28 points
12 rebounds
2 assists
2 steals
6 blocks

No words for this one unless you need a therapy session.

Chat fans are using "disgusting" a lot. Seems a bit harsh.

Hurley getting lambasted by national media.

Sheesh.

No it’s not. It’s super entitled. If you are the best coach in college basketball there’s no need to constantly try to puff your chest out about it.

I can’t think of one great coach who would actually say that out loud to anyone, especially a ref. He has to get his head out his you know what.

Imna go change my pants.

I mean I don’t actually think the defense was bad tonight. The 4+ minute offensive droughts were the issue. Giving up 76 on OT isn’t bad

Details?

Winning these games without Liam right now is all that matters. Don’t ask questions. Just pass Go and collect your $200. On to Xavier.
