Butler Scouting Report

[Hey Adrien!]

Here's the box score from last game:

Some differences since this game:

• Leading scorer Manny Bates hasn't played last two games with a knee injury.
  • His replacement, Jalen Thomas, who was injured when we first played Butler, has averaged 10.5p, 6r, 1.5b per game in the two starts of Bates' absence
• Pierre Thomas hasn't played the last two games with a wrist injury
• Senior Akron transfer Ali Ali, who was injured last time we played Butler, is now healthy. The 6'8 205 stretch forward (13.9p, 40.7 3p% last season) has yet to hit his stride for Butler (6.9p, 28.3 3p%, team's least efficient defender).
• Lukosius' last three games (19.6p, 10-17 from three).

The only thing I know for sure is that they will shoot more freethrows than Uconn.

I think this will be another close game. This is not the same Uconn team that played them before. Not sure if well ever see that team again tbh.

Any word on Samson Johnson being back, even in limited minutes?

Any word on Samson Johnson being back, even in limited minutes?

Media usually talks to coaches day before the game, so I'm sure we'll get an update today at some point.

OK. Nice weekend for UConn hockey. They’re back on track. I expect the same thing for UConn basketball starting tomorrow. Go Huskies!!!
