Character time for Butler. He must forget the first half (0-6, 0-4) and show leadership in the second.

He will.

My guess12 points.

Mitchell is 4-4, 2-2. Maybe he'll light it up in the second.


Can I change my prognostication??!

Brutal display of offense. 2 points combined from 3 starters. Literally cannot happen against anyone

Why, why, why is this team so bad at making free throws?
I have NEVER seen a guard-oriented team so bad at making free throws. They don't need to anything other than a basket to practice free throws. They will never win any championships shooting like this.

Vital is so limited offensively that I don't know if we can afford to pay him against a team like Tech. They're great enough on defense that you can really afford to play a guy who adds nothing on one end of the floor.

He's still too valuable on the defense and he's a rebounder. I know what you're talking about on the offensive end however - I cringe every time he puts it on the floor.

Got kicked for saying FTs would haunt this team. Terrible FT shooting team as a whole.

We've seen it a few times now, but our bigs are a complete liability when the opposing team has anyone with any amount of size and talent to match up. Vital and EJ are strong enough on the defensive end of the floor, but it's getting harder and harder for me to understand why flo continues to get the minutes he does.

If Jared Butler isn't going to show up they might as well get Flagler and Cryer more minutes.

Both about to be in the bonus, so foul shots will be critical!

I think Butler is getting frustrated. He should not be making those fouls.

Why does Davion kick the ball when he's dribbling more than any guard I've ever seen? He does 4 or 5 times a game, like his body moves faster than his coordination will allow.

It's extremely frustrating how inconsistent he plays. He carries them the whole way last time out and is holding them back today.

Butler has been useless today and doesn't look like he's gonna snap out of it today. Might need to sit him a bit today to get his head right for the next game. Hopefully the rest of them can hold the game and get the W on a bad day for him
You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.

Love Butler but he's the ultimate boom or bust guy always has been. Wish he was consistent.

Another dumb foul.

It's too early to say we're in trouble but they have got to turn things around NOW!

C'mon guys. You don't sit the best player in the conference and a top 5 guy nationally, unless he's just not giving effort - which Butler is clearly still playing hard.

Don't be ridiculous.

Truth. All it takes is one shot or one steal to completely turn it around.

Their defense has figured out a way to limit Everyday John. We've got to find a way to get him back in the game. He may be our best hope now.
