Butler Game thread 01/14/2017

[Anti-Homer]

Bernard is unspectacular, and not a stat stuffer, but has been X's most consistent player. No way would I want MD to take minutes from him, particularly now.

[mumuskie87]

Great hustle offensive board by Malcolm.
Nice 1H for him

[mumuskie87]

Good half.
6 pt lead and Ed has 0 points.

[Anti-Homer]

X's offensive stats aren't great, but when they miss long 3,s it often leads to run outs by the other team. They only took 6 3-s. Butler has had to earn their points. Good minutes by SOM & Gaston. X is leading despite getting nothing from Sumner due to foul trouble. They're abusing Butler by driving to the hole.

Sumner will go off in the 2nd half. Hopefully, neither Martin nor Chrab does. X will prevail. Just need to hit at least 70% of free throws.

[mumuskie87]

X is up 10-5 on points off TO's.
That's big since Butler does a great job of protecting the ball.
Butler averages 10 TO's a game but had 7 in 1H while X had only 5.
I will take another like that in the 2H.

[Anti-Homer]

Tre and CM fueling Butler's comeback. Halftime breaks always seem to harm X. What gives?

[bluegrass]

Not working the ball on offense. Butler on 10 to 0 run

[mumuskie87]

Butler on a 10-0 run...counting Woodson's 3 at the end of the 1H.
Tre has started half 0-3 is now 2-9 from the field.
X 's big 3 - Ed, Tre and JP - has a combined 4 for 16. 25% is not going to win many games.

[muskieman]

settling for jumpers as Butler goes on 7-0 ru and take the lead. Look like we don't know what we want to do. Hope the TO helps

[bluegrass]

Butler with 11 points in 4 minutes. Not good.Got to play solid D
