Do you think Wiltjer would do better at Butler, Bucknell, or Gonzaga?

[jbcarol]

Bucknell 8  Butler 9  11:54

[jbcarol]

Van Wijk went down hard.

Izzo's team is pulling away from the cold shooting Valpo team.

Valpo 12  State 29  4:04

[Breems]

Butler's offensive execution is strange. Lots of movement that accomplishes nothing. Reminds me of a Pelphrey set.

[HamIAm]

The announcer said Clarke almost didn't go to Butler because Arkansas has 3 ice baths and Butler only has one. The coach told Clarke he would ice him down in his bathtub if he would just come on.

Isn't that like tampering? Trying to convince a player from another team to come to your school?

[SPAL]

Bucknell can't score

Not if he was granted a release first. If he did all that prior, yes

[HamIAm]

Not if he was granted a release first. If he did all that prior, yes

Well, if he was granted a release first, why would he be concerned about how many ice baths Arkansas had?

[Phenomenal One]

No wonder Rotnei leads Butler in scoring .... He throws up a shot every time he gets his hands on the ball

I took it to mean RC wasn't sure he wanted to go to Butler because they didnt have what he was accustomed to at Arkansas.

[Hawg4life33]

Not much athleticism on the court for either team. Lot of jump shots.

[Karma]

No wonder Rotnei leads Butler in scoring .... He throws up a shot every time he gets his hands on the ball

He's taken 4 shots in 13 minutes.

[HamIAm]

Could be.

[Breems]

Neither of these teams are making it far. Wish I wouldn't have put Butler beating Marquette.

[ThrillaHog]

No wonder Rotnei leads Butler in scoring .... He throws up a shot every time he gets his hands on the ball

Funny he left Arkansas to do the exact same thing he is doing at Butler. Still cant create a shot to save his life

[Dr. Starcs]

Wonder if butler gave unlimited access to equipment and apparel?

[jbcarol]

Wonder if butler gave unlimited access to equipment and apparel?

They play their home games in the old Hinkel arena where Hoosiers was filmed.

The storeroom is like a fitness and vintage clothing museum.

[HamIAm]

Everything Buckner puts up is rimming out.

[SPAL]

Funny he left Arkansas to do the exact same thing he is doing at Butler. Still cant create a shot to save his life

Was thinking the same thing

[SPAL]

Bucknell has 1 threat and he can't score.

[jbcarol]

Was it a cold call?

[HamIAm]

Was it a cold call?

+1

Ole Miss doesn't play until later.

[99toLife]

No he left Arkansas for a chance to play in the NCAAt.

[Dr. Starcs]

Frustrating that teams like butler have a tenth of the athletic ability as the hogs, yet is the exact reverse when it comes to knowing how to play basketball. 

Bucknell looks awful right now.

Rotnei may have used all his makes at his off site practice.

[Jackrabbit Hog]

Clarke with ghost D as Casper hits for Bucknell

4-4 at 16:00

jb, it's Kaspar, not Casper (although I get the pun).  He went to high school with my oldest daughter.

[RyeHogFan]

I got nothing against Rotnei but right now Butler is winning DESPITE him. He keeps jacking up threes and clanging them all the while his team is dominating inside.

[razorson]

final 4 Louisville,New Mexico,Kansas, and Indiana. Lou. vs Ind.= Louisville

[jbcarol]

jb, it's Kaspar, not Casper (although I get the pun).  He went to high school with my oldest daughter.

Is he related to that Karl Kaspar?

[HamIAm]

Rotnei has thrown up a couple of real bricks this half.

[jbcarol]

Halftime  Bucknell 14  Butler 21

[jbcarol]

Coach Pel was never a fan of the long two.

[attachment deleted by admin]

[Dr. Starcs]

Steve smith takes a "shot" at rotnei at halftime. Lol

[jbcarol]

"There's a good two-for-eight and there's a bad two-for-eight."

"That's a bad two-for-eight."

- Half time commentator that is neither Seth Davis, Charles Barkley, nor Rex Chapman

[jbcarol]

Wichita State and Pitt about to tip off on TBS.

[PonderinHog]

Rotnei has thrown up a couple of real bricks this half.

Act like you've been there, Fauxhawg.  Wait, nevermind...

[jbcarol]

Valpo 22  Mich. St 49  14:14

[jbcarol]

Steve smith takes a "shot" at rotnei at halftime. Lol

He wasn't even an A. about it. He just called it like he sees it.

[jbcarol]

Someone tipped off CBS that Michigan State and Valpo would be a great game to feature solo to kickoff Thursday coverage and thru the Butler timeout.

They were wrong.

Trivia: Which SEC team featured a home win over Bucknell as one of their top five wins on their tournament resume'?

[SPAL]

We are Missou, who you

To play PG - something I was a fan of while he was here.

[99toLife]

Yeah, My comment was a little flippant.

[jbcarol]

Wich St. up 7-5 over Pitt at 1st media time out (TBS).

[jbcarol]

Roosevelt Jones is carrying the scoring load 23 minutes in: 11 points for Butler.

Efficient game: 4-6 FGs and 3-3 FTs.
