Game 14: #12 Butler, NYE Queens 730P/FS1

By player I assume you mean poster otherwise you have quite a scoop.

yeah whoops haha

Just win baby!

A win here would be a beautiful beginning to the new year and conference play. 

Brutal defensive possession from LJ there. Left shooter Baldwin to guard non shooter Thompson then got caught cherry picking which gave Baldwin a second wide open 3 after the offensive rebound.

Too many wasted O possessions and outside shots. Get the ball inside and convert.

Nice take and offensive board by Earlington.

Ok start. Great defensive intensity by both teams. Gonna be a good one

Dunn going to the line to tie in a game that feels like we should be down 6 or so points. Solid Butler D really exposing the offensive limitations our peripheral guys have.

Do any of our guys ever practice shooting the basketball. Great effort but can't hit an outside shot at all.

This is what I was concerned about with Earlington. Not playing his role. He can't shoot. Opponents will gladly give him jumpers all game. He needs to live in the paint and not drift 10-18 feet out.

Earlington everywhere. Too bad he can’t shoot. Shot way too flat

Butler D providing the blueprint for how we will be guarded all season. Just sag off everybody, go under screens and beg us to shoot jumpers.

Teams that don't turn it over and control tempo will crush us.

LJ isn’t an alpha. He needs to play off others.

Bring back mullin

I generally agree. With Heron out and LJ in trouble offense is shaky.

Our first 6 field goals were all drives to the hoop. Can't hit an outside shot to save our lives. Keep attacking the rim and pray for a miracle comeback.

This is what happens when your only two players that have played meaningful minutes in the Big East are taken out of the game.

This beatdown is good for this team. They need to know where they stand.

And im still waiting for Williams for his breakout game
