love matt meyers energy and offense but dude is a defensive liability. multiple occasions this game he didn't know who to pick up and put the team in a bad spot trying to figure it out.

Butler misses the front end of a 1-1, OSU last 2 possessions getting Offensive rebounds
ImABearToo
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Agree! Nowhere close to what was expected given his dominance in high school. But then again everyone in college is 6'6 or better so you better be a great shooter, which he isn't. Time will tell

Your best FT shooter can't miss the front end of a 1-and-1. C'mon.
