Butler game thread

Postby muskieman » Fri Mar 03, 2023 1:03 pm

The final game of the regular season and time to get revenge. I hope X throttles, Butler.

Thad Matta will be returning to the Cintas Center for the first time in over 18 years.

Game time: Saturday, March 4 @ 7 PM
TV FS1 Brabden Gaudin and Nick Bahe
Radio 700 WLW

Senior night X will honor three student-athletes, Souley Boum, Jack Nunge, and Adam Kunkel, and three managers, Mark Gaertner, Jackson Nierste, and Blake Kirchner. Festivities start around 6:30 pm


HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS GAME?
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

Interesting MM and thank you for that tidbit about Senior honorees. I realize no one knows for sure, possibly not even these student athletes, but would this indicate Zach & Jerome are considering returning?

I think they will take nothing for granted, have clarity of focus, and put the hammer down.

Significant Big East news.

Xavier's Zach Freemantle (foot) is available for today's game against Butler and will be a game-time decision, per Sean Miller. Has not played since 1/28. Averages 15.2 PPG and 8.1 RPG.


KyKy Tandy (foot) is also available and a game-time decision.

The little noticed or talked about line is KyKy Tandy. He is the same year as Zach, but not listed to be a part of senior night. All Big East freshman with plenty of injuries the next three years, but much potential. Should we assume he comes back or does he test the transfer pool? Can he contribute next year with only freshmen and Claude on the roster. He has never appeared to be an emotional leader, but could he? We might need senior leadership and depth.

Good luck, KyKy, on whatever decision you make.

Good first half by Kunkel. Boum and Jones played well too. Edwards had a nice first half too. He picked up a cheap foul at the end of the half .Nunge and Hunter were sleep walking. Need to keep driving. They don't have much in the way of big men.
