let the better team win as always. I'm noticing in general that the teams are executing better on offense. always a good sign. keep improving and play your best game come March.

Biggest issue is can Butler defend with the new officials mandate to reduce physical play? Not a conspiracy, but it almost seems like they used our play as an example that they want to clean up? We went from hardly fouling to giving up tons of FTs. Once again not saying anything crazy, just hard to adjust in-season when they change the way they call games.

Can we keep MH from going bonkers, or limit him to his average and keep the rest from beating us? Going to be an interesting note if we can't hold serve at home... If Butler gets back to hard D without fouling, Marquette will have a long night! Keep fouling in a way that gets them shooting fouls and we'll lose 4 in a row.

Aaron Thompson out with a wrist injury from the Nova game... This just became an up hill battle for sure!

Marquette and Butler playing BE football.

One of the dumbest fouls I've seen by Bailey.

Good win, Butler.

Great game. I'm actually impressed by Marquette. Howard had a terrible game, Baldwin was ridiculous, and they had the ball with a chance to tie under 30 secs in OT.
