Grow up. Basketball is a game of runs. If you are screwing up and helping someone make a run, I'm gonna say Pull him. If you are helping us make a run, I'm gonna be yelling for you. Your green flags only show up in threads over here when we get leads. Otherwise, you hide in the closet over there.

Actually I'm busy watching the game lol. Good try though! You haven't watched this team all year if you're complaining about Butler's turnovers.. this team has had 10 plus turnovers in almost every competitive game and Butler has been steadily improving. Keep hating on my classmates though.
