I'm on vacation and watching the game at a bar. I usually don't follow the game thread when watching games...now I remember why.

Hope if we do lose, that none of you take to stalking players on social media.

To say he's shooting poorly, fine. To say he's checked out is another.


Gotcha, I didn't say he checked out

1. When Butler gets the hook that fast, coaches think something is wrong.

2. No blood no foul.

Looked like Mitchell put it up for a lob but both Thamba and Vital just stood there.

Vital definitely fouled going to the bucket and no call and then he does a dumb foul in response.

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

Those fouls don't count. Allen Fieldhouse rules, I guess
