2/9 Butler Game Thread

Saw we opened as -1.5 favorites...think line has moved to PK.

Always tough to play at Butler. Tournament teams win these games.

ST.John’s - 75
Butler - 66

Mike Repole........ 79
David Letterman.. 75

Tournament teams muscle through these games. Five of last six at home after this game!

This is a huge game. Win this and, barring a collapse, I think we are in the tournament.

Line has moved to Butler -1.5, not sure why. Must win if you want to be in the difference of the bubble and positioning for seeding. If you win tonight then you are really on a roll, and don't have as much pressure and only have to go 4-2 the rest of the way with only one more road game after tonight.

St.John’s 84
Butler 59

Wusu with a career high 16 points.

SJU 79
Butler 76

No nights off in this conference, ever. Butler's going to try and spoil our streak but this is a different Johnnies team. Focused and relentless for 40 minutes, they survive and march on.

Did you just reference a St. John’s team as “only” having to go 4-2 to finish? You are new here

One game at a time. Like Coach said, this team can still get better. They are not acting like it’s a done deal, and they shouldn’t because it certainly isn’t.

I’m expecting us to put them away early.

Early as in go up big early in the first half, make it close in the middle of the second half, to going up by 10 with nine minutes left and stay between 8-15 points for the rest of the game?

Team playing fast and furious. Up 10 halfway through the 1st.

That was a fun stretch.

they just look lost when posh isn't on the floor

horrible stretch from earlington

missed a high percentage shot

loses his man down low, let's up an easy basket

offensive foul

Only reason the game is close is because the officiating brought them back in a big 6 minute stretch.

it wasn't great but it was more alexander being in foul trouble

Don't need style points tonight I'' take an ugly one point win. Just win baby! 5 of last 6 at home is when I want to look good doing it.

I missed first half but offense is still cooking. 54% from the floor sheesh

earlington has been simply horrible in this game

posh shot is not going today

Wusu's missed a lot of chippies tonight. Gotta finish those layups.

Surprised Moore on the bench down the stretch
