Arizona tip off Title Game

[onewoof]

They are 12-22 from 3PT. Tough to beat a team that shoots like that. Granted, they torched our defense for open looks all night. But…

That’s basketball.

Butler may not shoot that well again all year. It happens. I will say this: they have a team full of weak little bìtches

horrendous loss. Defense not played. It's gonna be a long year.

How is this a horrendous loss? It sucks, but it's a neutral loss to a good team.
And they closed the game to just a couple points with only a few minutes left- it was close.

You have no clue what the hell you are talking about. This loss will not hurt us at all. It’s been a long road stretch vs good competition and came away 3-1. Yeah we didn’t play the greatest today, but butler is a good team. Why do we have such a world is ending attitude after every single basketball loss? I swear some fans love to see us lose in basketball just so they can get on this board and say we suck. We might have the dumbest most ignorant fanbase in the country. MSU basketball is joy to watch, especially in comparison to football.

We played the late game. Butler looked rested. We were still tired

Butler is a good team. This loss doesn’t hurt us at all, just a missed chance to further pad our resume. Will either be a Q1 or Q2 loss. Beat Pitt at home on Wednesday and you’re still in a very strong spot.

Agreed. Not a bad loss, just badly played. Stats don't lie.

A growth area for the team is to figure out why we go so ice cold at times to start the game. That's mental. Missing ten 3's in the first half is just a symptom

Pretty sure the Midwest traveling refs had nothing to do with this skunk of a game. Hutzler's Defense looked better than this!

It was sarcasm at another post. I'm not obtuse to think that Butler brought their own refs from the Midwest that called the game to their liking.

That game was all about our crappy defense. Inexplicably, despite Jan’s emphasis on D, we were lazy last night.

What is up with Hubbard?

He sprained his ankle while playing against UNLV. I was surprised he even played in this game.
