High points - Joey C saw some of his shots go in - invaluable for him at this point of the season. Hawkins showed he can score more than 3s and can overcome a slow start- the kid is smooth as butter. The offense shows a more fluid style with DC in there - the ball moves better and quicker. Newton knew he had to drive more and did - the results were ok, Karaban continues to grow and HD played with more control and purpose. AJ proved he can drive to the hoop without any fanfare and get a hoop. Other points - Butler shot absolutely horrible. Dan Hurley trotted out the same starting line-up and as AWest stated the 1st few minutes were not pretty save the Butler inability to hit the broad side of the barn. Samson played and glad he did get some run - not sure he's ready to tangle with better comp at this time. Butler didn't offer much resistance throughout the game. Let's hope that the team is ready for Xavier because you know that Miller will have his team ready. On to Wednesday Chief00- I hope your opening line was tongue in cheek. A win is a win and it is a relief, but this one was little to prove the team has gotten over any substantial humps. [/QUOTE]
