Butler bulldogs (20-13, 6th Big East)

Leading Scorer:

#30 Kelan Martin - 6-7 F
low block banger who rebounds and can step out and hit the 3. can create his own shot. think barford but bigger. dude could be a problem for us. he can handle the rock and score in traffic.

He's going to be a problem.

Starting Lineup:
6-8 F/C Tyler Wideman 9ppg 5 rpg
6-7 F Kelan Martin 20ppg 6 rpg 2apg
6-6 F Sean McDermott 6ppg 4rpg

6-2 G Aaron Thompson 4ppg 1rpg 3apg
Major Minutes:
6-2 G Paul Jorgensen 10ppg 3rpg 2apg

Besides him Butler doesn't have big guards.  Like this matchup for the Hogs.

It looks like they don't have anybody to challenge gafford lol

This matchup reminds me of the Auburn game in BWA.  Yes they can shoot, but they don't have anyone to stop gafford...

They do have a 6'10" Center.

[WorfHog]

Think he can keep up?

[JONAS]

Think he can keep up?

I hope not.

[40MINSOFHELL]

Does butler rely on bench play much? If not, they will get tired.

[RaisinHog]

They play 8 players .

[Kris P. Bacon]

So after watching that.... Don't give him a 3. I don't think he is owning the block on us

[tennesseehogwild]

Gafford has to stay out of foul trouble. The refs prob haven't seen Hogs all year and no telling how they call it.

I see Gafford having a big game . They don't match up so he will get 20 and their Guards don't match up good with ours Barford and Maccon get theirs . Hogs win by 8-10

[Hog Fan...DOH!]

Ah, Let Martin have a big game.  He gonna get his.

Who's the big guard that's going to deny Macon? 

[HUNGLOWHOG]

🖕🏼🖕🏼Butler !!! WPS 🐗🐗🐗

[M L (bassplayer)]

Problem might be that they are good from behind the 3-pt line. If our lame swtiching gives them a bunch of easy 3-pt looks then it could be tough.

I said Screw Florida and we won. Breems didn't make an appearance in that thread. I said Screw Butler and he's not here either. What happened to Breems?

Dan Dakich thinks Butler will beat us. he's a pretty smart guy, no doubt. But i don't think he's kept up with the evolution of our style of play. he probably thinks we still press all game long.

I hate Dakich. He's one of the ones that don't watch enough games, and spouts off at the mouth during the game and sounds like a complete idiot most times. Majority of Hogville probably watched more games than he did of any conference, yet he's an "expert". Yea ok.

In retrospect, I can see what Nolan was so angry about. At the time, I didn't. I was too young and naive.
