Butler Game Thread 2-26-17

Huge game for X today.
Need to win at least 2 of the next 3 regular to secure NCAA bid, IMO

X down 17-15 and Tre has not scored.
BU makes the extra pass and X's offense consists on different guys trying to go one on one.

Q playing some nice minutes - 2 for 2 from inside the arc and 2 for 2 from the line.

We have severe defensive lapses that just kill us not to mention careless turnovers. Unfortunately we make mistakes and Butler does not. First time for five game losing streak since 81-82?

Martin scores 8 straight points and BU goes back up by 4.

Nice 1H for Bernard.
Down 1 at the half.
To be hones, closer than I expected.

Butler may be up at the half, but I can only credit them with about 33 of their 38. I'll credit the poor officiating with the other 5.

1st half hasn't been a real problem for X this year. It's the second half that has killed X . Hopefully they can come up with a great second half and pull out a win. Let's go X!!
