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

Well, that was fun! Eager to see what else we get from RJ and Dunlap.

 

[Delaware]

Nice win start to finish. Lots of balance and contributions across the board. On to Nova!!

 

[espken]

Serve held. Now we break serve on Saturday at the Pavilion.

 

[Larry Wright]

My takeaway is Pitino is a bad foul shooting coach. All these guys shot better at their old schools.

 

[Marillac2]

Even when not getting shots, Dunlap commands attention and opens the floor for everybody else

The best pass is always the one right after he touches it. He’s a marked man.

 

[MugCostanza]

Hope they don't make me eat these words on Saturday but team seems to be putting it together. Getting contributions from different guys every night, ton of a different lineup options, and defense improving. Far from perfect but a noticeably different team since the BC game

Amazing to think where this team was against Boston College and Fordham (I still don’t think we played well at all that game) in December.

Team looks completely different on defense, effort is no longer a question for the whole 40 minutes, and the chemistry on offense is clearly evident.

Scary part is, we did this without our best defender of the year. If Dunlap provides even half of this production, Luis continues to adjust/mesh with teammates…we are a long team with a lot of potential.

All 5th year seniors in to close the game out

Alleyne was pissed at Luis after that second forced shot. And then made it a point to feed Soriano the next time down. That was good to see. Luis will get there but he needs a lot of reining in.

There's a story about a man named Brady....

 

[Mean Gene]

Excellent win and by 10+ points for NET purposes. With the emergence of Luis and Dunlap this team has some real upside.

No way he got out of that parking lot that quick

+100

Yep noticed that too, Alleyne knowing what it takes to win is a huge help to this team and why I expect him to be on the floor late in most games

 

[NCJohnnie]

2-1 in Big East play! Love the sound of that. Good game with huge lift from Dunlap. Ledlum a big plus tonight as well.

 

[redstorm to redmen]

I sense team will be shooting Free Throws at practice.

It has to be higher than 80% to be a tournament team. Period!

 

[Bobby123]

Great to hear butler coach telling his team not to lose number 44

 

[Mullins Revenge]

The upgrade at pg in jenkins over posh is enormous. Posh is so limited it hurts his team. We saw this for 3 years.

What a game by Brady. I was not thinking you would hear matta in the huddle say, “Do not lose 44”.

What a game!!! This is easily a tournament team. Lets go get another W vs nova on Saturday!!!!!!!

 

[Eric]

I must say this in game thread is just as entertaining as our team is.

 

[Larry Wright]

Pitino let’s guys play so they will get carried away at times.
