Butler Post Game Thread

Ball, Ross, and Demary all needed that confidence boost tonight, that was great to see

Ball and Ross for sure. Love the 11 assists from Silas but he might not be feeling so confident in his scoring after the 0-8

HELLO JAYDEN ROSS!!! Best game of his career and was a walking highlight reel! Let’s go!!!

Solo quietly just dropped his career high. Great shooting from 4 levels - three, midrange, rim, and FTs

Even the guys that struggled had moments. Silas looked miserable but still had 11 assists. Tarris had some really questionable moments but had 16 points on 66%

The common theme of watching Braylon is seeing that he just moves different. He’s going to be so special

Great win! I’m sure there will be some negative comments but just dropping this here - UConn led by double digits from 4:07 in the first half all the way through the end of the game. Let’s go Huskies!

You can tell Silas isn't sure when to attack or not, but he played great defense and had double digit assists. Until he finds his complete game, we will take it.

Listening to Coach Hurley's post game interview right now and he said he's frustrated that the team has no killer instinct. Said we should have won by 25-30 based on Butler's FG %.

What was it that he accidentally said and then stopped

Solo is automatic in the mid-range and the three is coming around. Electric first half. Ross was by far our best player second half, easily his best game as a Husky. Glad he filled up the boxscore because he was all over the court before the points came. Awesome game for him and his confidence.

Silas gets destroyed in the chat because his scoring game has been miserable since BYU as he's figuring out how to be a point guard. He had 11 assists and Bizjack did nothing. Once he figures it out this offense will be unstoppable. Tarris and Mullins are trying to figure things out right now as well.

AK should've come out of the game and been looked at after he bashed his head.

Love the 11 assists, but I’d also love to see Silas hunt his own shot more. When he finds the right balance, he’s going to be really good

 

[IndyLives]

No team is deeper in the country with raw talent than UConn. Ross performance off the bench tonight is a good example.

What's scary is this team is still playing very disjointed on both ends. Come March, this team will be a machine. Let's go!

 

[Huskyforlife]

Demary did a good job quarterbacking for his teammates tonight, still hoping he finds his scoring rhythm by the mid way point of conference play. It’s the difference between our offense being good or great.

Watching Solo in interviews is amazing. Just an awesome dude.

 

[mussels]

13 blocks for the Huskies tonight!!!

I don't understand how that hasn't become automatic.

And it isn't like a concussion wasn't a big problem for him last year.

 

[aceboon]

last step to fully unlocking this team will be getting Silas in some kind of scoring rhythm. He's gotta be more aggressive in scoring and can't wait to shoot when the shot clock is running down and out of sorts.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

What was it that he accidentally said and then stopped

A big old F bomb.

Jayden Ross deserved those extra minutes. What a performance and it afforded Hurley to keep Karaban out of the game most of the second part of the second half. Hopefully Karaban is alright. That was a nasty fall.

 

[JakeTheDog]

Hurley had an oops.

What happened?

 

[Mister P]

Hopefully, Stewart’s second half DNP was more precautionary than anything. Got banged up late in the first half.
We need everyone getting their full allotment of minutes between now and tournament time so we can be playing our best ball and jelling at that time.

He's the man.

Thought he did a much nicer job of probing today than he has. It opened up a lot of the passing lanes that led to his assists. The scoring we know he has in his bag, but running the offense was great to see today. He was also getting slapped and pushed constantly and was able to play through it. Butler was VERY handsy, especially in the second half.

I would never like to see basketball played like the opening minutes of this game ever again, please and thank you.

 

[Kolumbo]

Ross must have been reading the BY threads about Stanley Robinson

At what pointn do they call that pushing and slapping

 

[TheHorde]

Was at the Ross slam dunk contest tonight. 10/10 would recommend.

 

[navery12]

Ball and Ross for sure. Love the 11 assists from Silas but he might not be feeling so confident in his scoring after the 0-8

Maybe, but 4 of those shots were just contested ones he threw up in garbage time. He had a very good game even if it wasn't a complete game

How about the last 35 minutes?

Oh hey, we're back in Big East play! Let's gooooooo
