[quote="Paultzman" post=370047][quote="Mean Gene" post=370027]Jesus Christ , we are down 21 and Steere doesn’t even see the floor. I’m not trying to say that he’s a savior or anything close to that but this team is lost right now and needs a spark from somewhere! He has some talent, let him play.[/quote]

Anderson knows what Steere brings to table at this point. He’s not ignorant & perhaps Ian will help in time. Personally, I wondered if fans were unwisely expecting him to have instant impact.[/quote]

Steere can't bring any less than Sears. Clearly he has not been getting an "E" for effort in practices I presume.
Caraher playing is a bigger problem than Earlington imo. No one playing point with leadership mentality is biggest problem. Credit CMA for doing his best to keep Butler a top 5 team nationally.

We're having a bad night tonight....no more, no less. It's not due to lack of shooters, or point guards or anything like that.....it just hasn't been our night thus far.[/quote]

We are having a bad night. But Butler is playing a role in it. Butler has a solid game plan which is exposing our weaknesses. I try to be objective in my assessments. Will every team be able to do this to us? No. I know Butler is doing it to us.

As, Monte stated our poor offense has affected our defense.[/quote]

I agree with you guys Dink. This is only one game but I also tend to agree with another poster who said that we need out two best players playing for us to be effective. Then the other players can just settle into their roles that they are capable of instead of having to do mire than they are capable of. Just having Heron and Figueroa in there takes pressure off everyone else. Figueroa needs to be much smarter out there. Especially when he’s in foul trouble
 
[quote="Ken Shark" post=370064]Wow, never saw so many people jump off a ship after 20 bad minutes. Really people?[/quote]

Especially considering the comments in the pre-game thread.

No one is or has jumped ship. People are only speaking to what they are currently witnessing.
 
[quote="Spocky Ramone" post=370067]Dunn our top scorer with 6
5 other guys have 2[/quote]
Sounds like the 6th grade intramural's games statistics I was involved in as a kid.
 
We are clearly not going to win this game. Challenge now is to make it a little competitive (i.e. get it within 10 or so).

I don’t think anyone is jumping ship long term Ken. This game has become what it is. I think we will learn from this and as long we are healthy I still believe we can successful this season. We are not a great shooting team but we are better than this even without our two best players. Just a bad night.
 
This was my fear earlier in the season, lack of true scorers in big east play.

If Fig is off and in foul trouble, and Heron is out, it’s gonna be tough for us to compete if we aren’t forcing turnovers and getting transition looks.

Tough matchup tonight for us. But we aren’t nearly as bad as we have shown this evening

Rumor has it some posters tend to be a little high strung
 
This is just one of those nights and we are playing a really good team get Heron back and we will have much better nights then this.
 
I have never been a Figgy fan, just as I was never a Shamorie fan. Just not smart basketball players, despite lots of talent and ability to take over a game when hot.
 
Starting to turnover Butler a little bit. You see the difference when we get out and running.

Love how we are fighting without our top 2 players
