Yes, I do have high standards for this team. I think our team is Top 8 good. Great depth. Great athleticism.
The only thing that frustrates me a little is the half court offense. The pick and roll in the 2nd half, they guarded alot better. So it made things more difficult
Funny coming from him if he could have shot better when he was with the, Rockets in Utah conference series and kept his big mouth shut in the locker room Rockets may have won 2 more championship against the Bulls
Bigger picture, the refs weren’t calling anything as we were up 20. Hard to run an offense when you are getting mugged.
Moreover, basketball is a game of runs. Butler isn’t terrible. Even in their loss to Michigan St, they went on a 22-12 run over 12 minutes. So they went on a 14-4 run over 8 minutes against us. Who cares. The other 32 minutes, we won by 28 points.
Reminded me a lot of the Tech game last year. Besides the muggings, it’s difficult to keep that kind of intensity up for 40 minutes, especially when you won the game in the first half.
Also. We had Armbrester, Francis, and Elvin in for the last 3 or 4 minutes of the game. If coach just wanted to run up the score, we would have won by 30+.
There was nothing Ugly about this game. The game was over at HT. I knew the 2nd Half would slow down pt wise jyst like the UV gm, it’s College basketball…geez. We Basketball lovers must Protect the Basketball threads from turning into the Football side fiasco.
