Poor officiating at the end of the johnnies v butler game looks like it will hand butler the win. Hate when the refs insist on placing their egos ahead of the game.

Yeah they missed a lot of goal tends.

Please.

Johnnies go from #15 to tailspin falling fast losing first 2 conference games and now our 5 star PG forever. And Nova plus Duke soon. I knew we couldn't keep this up. When something seems too good to be true it is.

Really? Were you watching a replay of last year? You certainly weren't watching today's game. I agree milksteak, Ball needs to buy a clue.

Doug Gottlieb as an analyst was a joy to listen to today. He freely disagreed with the refs upon occasion and gave his reasons why.

[SecureDaBall]

Gritty road win by Butler.

The Johnnies are in trouble with Lavin coaching like this is an AAU summer league.

Freakin DePaul...

You must be thrilled by the beat down the hoyas are putting on the jays then.

Congrats to the Pirates. I'm not too surprised on this result. Villanova showed some cracks in the armor during our Butler game. We got way too many easy hoops in the paint against Nova. They need to tighten up the interior defense. The Butler game was also the first time I had seen Villanova and I thought they were a bigger team. 6'11" and 6'7" is a nice front line, but not a monster size team.

Cracks in the armor??? LMAO, we played just OK and handled Butler easily. Tighten up the interior defense?, you mean the one that blocked like 10 shots against Butler? Or the one that held Butler to 35% shooting? Yeah the 6'11" guy only had 19 & 24 today, yeah obviously he sucks.

We shot poorly today, a lot of that had to do with Hall's defense, even then we don't shot 31% often. Add in missing 15 FT and playing on the road, equals a recipe for a loss.

Well, jeez. Hall's defense must be legendary then.

Could you have made your point without being an a**hole?

I got:

Nova over the hall, but I expect this one to be tight and a hall win would not surprise me.

Providence and Xavier win on the road, and georgetown and the johnnies protect home court.

I went 1-4. Nice work.

I did say the big upset of the day was possible, so kudos to me.
