Wednesday. 1st Round of Big East Tournament

[ASweet3781]

Want Butler. We match up better against them.

Well the winner of this game has to beat Creighton and we beat Xavier at their place without Bouknight so...

passes the ball with 0.7 seconds left
OT baby!!

 

[alexd]

OT at MSG!

Welp....that WAS NOT a Kemba step back jumper.

Idk what the hell Coach Jordan drew up in those timeouts, but Butler's execution at the end of regulation with multiple opportunities was horrible. No screens to free a couple players to start a fast break past half court. Should have been a two on one quick basket and then put the pressure on Xavier to score. Also, why would Xavier pick up defensively 3/4 court there. Should have had 3 guys near the paint to defend an easy basket, two guards pick up 3/4 court.

The commentators mentioned there are around 1,000-1,500 in attendance, mostly friends and family.

That would be the great Tim Brando and Bill Raftery.

Agree. Butler doesn’t have the speed at guard to get much 1-on-1.

Bouk is gunna be cookin' up a lot of ONIONS!

 

[elmcityboy]

freemantle doesn't seem like he wants the moment... keeps passing up open shots and turned it over to end regulation.

love the harris kid on butler, though.

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

Harris with the ONIONS! that kid is going to be really good next year.

I can’t believe Chuck Harris is only a freshman. He looks really good right now

 

[ASweet3781]

WTH?? Why foul??

Someone wake Rafferty up.

 

[87Xfer]

Butler playing like they DGAS, cause they sorta don't

 

[SixRings]

Now beat Creighton

 

[crazyUCfan23]

Wow Xavier.

 

[ASweet3781]

Now beat Creighton

Scared of Creighton? Get out of here. So cowardly.

 

[Edward Sargent]

Butler great end game management

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

WTH?? Why foul??

Someone wake Rafferty up.

Some very questionable coaching moves in this game.

 

[ASweet3781]

Terrible finish and terrible announcing.

 

[superjohn]

Now beat Creighton

, I want Creighton.

 

[UKemba15]

What a game...Xavier must be kicking themselves right now, oof.

 

[Tenspro2002]

That probably knocks Xavier out of the Tournament.

Like I said, BE will get only 3 bids.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Xavier’s coach is small time. School should cut its losses. Xavier can attract a better coach than this nobody.

I think the St. John's-Seton Hall winner gets in now.

 

[87Xfer]

ok, I'm an idiot. I had paused the game for about a minute back in the first half and forgot, so I've been commenting on delay. but fun game!

He jinxed them when he bought everyone shots at the bar mask-less.

 

[rollskies]

I’m confused. Was that foul intentional? They must have thought they had one to give? Maybe they wanted to take the chance on the one-and-one? I have no clue what that was.

No, they simply suck

A reach in foul with 3 seconds left up 1. As bad as a foul as you will ever see. Have to make the opponent hit a shot to beat you. Just terrible. Donny Marshall finally brings it up after the announcers and everyone else fail to point out how dumb it was.
