Butler, Tue., Jan. 2, 8:30p, FS-1

Gonna guess he was benched (half) for disciplinary reasons

Could be wrong but think it was purely coach's decision. Clear Pitino wanted Dunlap to get some burn in this one and he's gotta take somebody's minutes

 

[vegasman2000]

Wilcher for me is a big disappointment. His offensive game is lacking. It's like he is the Zuby of point guards

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

Gotta give Jenkins props, only 2 3balls this half.
Got 10pnts and 4 dimes.

 

[Moose]

Maybe just sending a message to be more assertive

I don't know. Taylor had done nothing wrong all year to me. Did a little bit of everything.

But RP is a mad scientist. Starting Conway certain games. Sitting Dunlap for weeks only to give him significant time. Same with Drissa based on the matchup. Just seems odd that Taylor today was benched all half. But Rick is Rick and we love having him.

I don’t hate him, just trying to wake up the Posh lovers that he is now the enemy not a on our side. .

I love Posh as many here do, but we all know he’s the enemy DURING the game. That was never the argument being made by people who like him. Come on

Have said it is not a lock he is even a true PG, we’ll see

He hit two AWFUL shots. Evened it out by missing a very good one.

 

[Boo Harvey]

Posh turning to our bench and talking garbage. Where are the Posh rooters now?

It’s part of the game. Posh is fired up

Let’s give the freshman a chance please.
Did you see the first half Brady just played ?
No one here expected that.
Some take a little longer than others to adjust.

 

[Marillac2]

Wilcher has looked awful lately.

DJ 10 points, 4 assists, 1stl
Joel 8pts, 7reb, 1blk
Brady 10pts 4-5fga, 2 threes

Keep shooting Posh

Kid is a top 30 recruit from UNC I expect him to make an open shot. Ponds was about the same rank IIRC. Not asking for the moon, bro, just knock down an open shot once a game.

 

[Silly Donovan]

Still think we should pressure Posh more with his weak handle.

Don’t forget Brady’s board and his block.

 

[espken]

Soriano having a bad game mentally. I wonder if him and Posh have some bad blood. He’s snapped at Jenkins and at Butler players a few times already.

Jenkins has to run to the ball after Soriano picked up his dribble.

Nobody yells at Jenkins but Marillac.

 

[paultzman]

53% shooting for Johnnies & a lot of balance in shot attempts. Nice half on offense

 

[Silly Donovan]

Dunlap having a heck of a game. And to think, he hasn’t even gotten into some games lately at all? Secret weapon????

Agreed. Dunlap has quick release and can get his shot off with very little space - it is interesting he got no time against the mid majors.

Offensively still minimal issues for this team. Defensively still lost.
