Love the fight in the first 8 minutes of the second half, but we have to get the lead and build on it.


This has been a back alley brawl

The ref crew decided before the game to only call contact to shooting arm in motion. No Other fouls called at either end.

One positive: if we survive today we get a different ref crew next game. If we got this crew playing Arkansas we would get killed.

Butler's legs were definitely not in that last shot.

He's played great defense this half though and his two drives have paid off. I think he may need to stick to more drives and kick out if needed. His 3 is just really off today.

That Thamba miss... ouch...
