Heron follows Ponds and blows a drive..and they kill us with the fast break back.
We lost the game in the first 1/2
We blew an opportunity to cut it to 5 or 6
One mediocre team will beat the other...sad day for us

I wouldn’t say Butler is NIT bound. They are more balanced. We are a 9-9 team. Get used to it. It sucks when being .500 in the BE is an accomplishment. Especially in down year
 
[quote="Paultzman" post=316212]Give NIT bound Butler credit, came out strong, controlled tempo & ran good stuff. Yes we made run, but blew opportunities.[/quote]

Don’t know about that one Paultz. Lunardi had them in a play in game earlier this week in the NCAAT. Now 2-0 on the week, with Jordan tucker finding his niche, could definitely see them getting to the tournament
 
Refs made up their minds long ago that Butler was going to win this.

Whoever made that tech call in this spot needs to be done. We need refs without egos. LJ didn't do anything all game.
 
Can someone call me when we can win more than 1 in a row in conference play? This is a .500 team that played a cupcake schedule. Butler is not a good team and though Tucker took over, they did everything to give the game away if a good team could take advantage. Teams like Nova win these 10/10 times. NIT watch starts now until proven otherwise. You can't just win at home...you need to beat bad teams in their house. Another game we refuse to take over late with a million opportunities.

Should be reversed 15/ 21.
 
We are 6-21 from three (28.6%)

They are 11-25 from three (44%)

Baldwin has 26 and Tucker has 24. No other Butler player has more than 8.

That's the ball game right there. Everything else is pretty much even.
 
NCAA Tournament berth is a pipe dream for this team. The only way They make it is if they win the Big East Tournament

Which they are very capable of doing.

We can't win 2 games in a row and can't beat bottom barrel Big East teams. Now we go into the toughest stretch of the season. We never do well in tournaments and we don't have consistency. Not negative just a fact. It's at large or nothing.

By the way, Tucker will go 1-8 next game from 3.

Not upset, but realistically SJU dancing is certainly not a given in 4 bid league tops. Talented, athletic yes, but let’s be honest, inconsistent. Not good enough to turn it on and off.
