11/27 Games Butler-OU, GTown-Wisconsin, San Diego-X, Marq-GT

[Bill Marsh]

Thanks to everyone for the congrats. I think the team showed some growth tonight. Uphill battle, but this one was encouraging.

Carlino was lights out. Played a great all around game.

Creighton was able to beat Oklahoma, but Butler, who beat #5 North Carolina could not.

True, but Creighton didn't have to play North Carolina the day before playing Oklahoma. I think Butler used up an awful lot of energy and emotion on UNC. For a team without a lot of depth, those are really tough back to back games.

Agree very different circumstances going into those games for CU and BU, but Butler really played poorly as well. They had multiple chances to cut into the OU lead, if they hit those (mostly open) shots its a very different game.
