Senior Night: Game 30, Butler

I thought depaul had time breaker on us, is that right ?

Gonna be sold out. We will beat them.

Gotta love this game...  we are so undermanned.  No business winning this one but we are...

Yes!  If we can win on Saturday and one (or two) conference tournament games, then we'll probably NIT bound. 

Heckuva job, tonight! 

That court long pass by Butler was a HUGE brain fart.  And Clark almost screwed up by going after it.

Wasn't pretty but these kids playing their F'ing hearts out tonight.  Happy for them.

We do because we beat Villanova.

How did they win without Ponds?  wow

Yes!  If we can win on Saturday and one (or two) conference tournament games, then we'll probably NIT bound.

I think we should just take a rest and “pull a UConn”... we can beat anybody in this conference in BET!  Go for the gold! 😉

Great game! Happy for Amar and Ahmed. W/o scoring and even with his fouling a three point shooter Amar played a really good game.

One of most ridiculous games I've seen... horrible coaching, blow 12 point lead, Simon hot and cold, offensive rebounds galore for Butler, how did we make it to OT, blow 6 point lead in OT, premature celebrating. This had it all...

No.  Tiebreaker is head to head, since it is 1-1 the next is you go down the standings.  Start with Xavier, assuming DePaul loses both DePaul and SJU are 0-2.  Then next team Nova.  Well SJU's win over them gives them current tiebreaker.

I must have been looking at a different game than you.  Great game by Simon and Coach!

Great game! Happy for Amar and Ahmed. W/o scoring and even with his fouling a three point shooter Amar played a really good game.

If you mean compared to every other game he's played in the last 3 years, sure. Versus 99% of other D1 I would call that a horrendous game

I didn't have a problem with Clark chasing it down because you never know if Martin can save it and maintain possession.  It was just nearly a heckuva play by Martin.  Clark should've attempted to run in front of Martin without totally impeding or fouling Martin.

This was not horrible coaching... we didn’t have a guard on the floor all game, vs a tourney-bound team.   Coaching is why these guys won this honestly... guys like Simon and Clark were cast out of UA and MSU, now they’re playing great ball.  Horrible coaching is ridiculous...

Wow, I actually agree here...

This was a phenomenal job by the staff and I don't know how anybody can think even slightly differently. The staff knew since Saturday Ponds wasn't going to play tonight and didn't announce it until just before tip on purpose. Butler spent the last 3 days gameplanning how to stop Ponds and had they known he was out they would have practiced and played that 3-2 zone throughout.

Staff had a great defensive gameplan and stuck with it. Knew which one on one matchups to exploit to get some baskets. They did a great job

What a crazy game.  Very happy for seniors and staff. Didn't think we had any chance without ponds. I'd be very happy with an nit birth after how we started conference play.
