BE Tournament 17 - Butler Game Thread 3-9

MM, ISO to Bluiett was good. Also trying to foul at end resulted in steal. Luckily they missed a few. Sentence structure due Hops Jr and I going nuts. Is AH still dogging Tre?

Tre and Malcolm stepping up big time .How about The Run part 2?

Malcolm has played very well of late.
And Big Sean has had 2 very good games so far in the tournament.
Really hope this can be a springboard for him next year.

Any poster who questions Mack after tonight's game should be banned from this site. Mack out coached the Butler bench big-time. Less talent to work with, Mack tempos the game and pulls all the right strings at the end. Kudos to the Xavier coaches! They did it! One more win, we might just get that NCAA bid!

No answers for #11. Two straight drives. Butler coach calls TO after tied game.

Mack looks frustrated

You were saying? Mack out coached the Butler guy, flat and simple. Mack is a fine coach. Admit it.

If you're a Butler fan this was a repeat of last saturday against SH. Looked like they were going to pull away and fell on their faces

Getting the lines from Sean and Malcom the key.

Mack is terrible call a TO, but you decide to play they it? Horrible. 10 points in a minute

Mack's strategy won this game for Xavier. He had less talent than Butler and totally out coached the Butler bench the final 8 minutes of the game. Give Mack some credit and stop your bashing of this coaching staff!

I think we got the bid but let's keep this train rolling like 2004

X only had an average offensive effort, but 2nd best defensive effort of the year. Martin hit some tough shots, but was largely shut down in the 2nd half. I believe what I said from the start: Other than Nova, X has as much talent as anyone in this league, even w/o E.S. If Creighton had Watson, it would be a different story. If X makes it to the final, and UC loses to anyone other than SMU, they may end up on the same seed line. That would be outstanding.
