Is Brandon Miller getting paid hourly? Seems like every Butler game includes a free overtime.

OK, was it good defense by Butler or bad shooting by Marquette? 31% FG and 16% 3's. Barlow's bonehead foul near the end put this into OT, which for once, we survived. Odds had to catch up with us. Hinkle was sold out.

Are either Butler or Marquette worthy of an NIT bid?

Both of them are. We'll get the top 3 (hopefully more) into the NCAA's and then really...pretty much everyone else is worthy of an NIT bid. It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the season plays out because there's no weakness in this conference. A day off = a loss.

Until today it looked like he was getting paid per conference L, with bonus incentives for close losses.
