Butler Game

Infuriating that we can look so good against Georgetown and Creighton, then turn in an awful 1st half performance against a weak Butler squad. We really miss Obekpa, but there have just been some terrible decisions!
 
of course we could lose this...but.......considering butler looks great (no thanks to our poor play)...and we look bad....Jordan and Harrison sitting on bench last part of the half...and we are down only 3?...I think we are lucky...and in a good position to pull away and win this game.....but sanchez stupidity must be limited in 2nd half and hopefully Jordan, Harrison and Sampson don't pick up foolish early fouls
 
They are taking us off the dribble and it will lead to more fouling if it don't stop. No CO to protect the rim. We better off making them hit shots then letting them get to the rim.
 
Hooper can't guard anybody man to man
He gets beat off the dribble all the time
With Butler playing tenacious man to man defense, he won't get a shot off
Why isn't Balamou playing? Isn't he sitting behind the bench in warmups?
He's got to be a better option ... or even Marco..... smh

Gotta protect those 3, as they all have 2 fouls each. I'd go with a 1-2-2, as I mentioned a few minutes ago.

It'll also allow our length to cause some trouble.

I'm pretty sure they are going to try and get the redshirt back for Balamou because of his mother's illness.
 
No secret; we continue to choose to believe we can show up without the effort and intensity necessary to play winning ball. Everything is a foul because we keep playing D with our hands. As with the Hall, very disappointing performance mostly based on a lack of focus. We obviously have improved leaps and bounds but we are far from there yet.
 
It's weird how Sanchez is so money from the free throw line and so the opposite of that any distance beyond the free throw line. His shot is too flat. If he had more arc on it, he'd probably have more success. It seems like he doesn't get enough lift from his legs when he's trying to shoot a far away jumper. He's always short and flat on the shot.

Granted i only saw half, of the half but noway does butler look great. they have 31 points on about 36% shooting. They are just getting to the line and killing us on the o-glass.
