Other team scored more points?

Macon, Barford, and Beard were all cold for the first half.

We left our defense in the locker room, where it's been for 7 straight seasons.................

Coach Anderson did not get his team prepared and ready to play.

These are the facts, and they are indisputable.

Dustin Thomas left and took the high times with him.

We were scared to be in Detroit

Ugly uncle said we would win

Shooting 35% will lose a game EVERYTIME, but let's complain about coaching when we have Jones missing wide open threes and Gafford air balling turn around hook shots.

Lot's of reasons, but no excuse for this in year 7 with a senior laden team. The number 1 reason is the head man.

We play no organized defense..we press, trap, sometimes it works, when it doesn't we are in the soup.


See last seven years for examples.

LRHawg

mentally unprepared for the game.

Expecting individual efforts to overcome poor team play.

8 mile is as far away from home that we can win ???

I'm thinking we didn't have enough men! lol

Totally Kidding - Mike anderson did not get them into a position to have high percentage shots, and that resulted in a cold shooting night.

Poorly prepared, no energy, down 21-2, and MA trying to figure out which role-player with limited upside to insert next (after 7 years).

We weren't prepared to play a good NCAA tourney team.

 

bphi11ips

Jordan had a plan to take away our strength (Barford and Macon) and make us beat Butler with our weakness - which was the 3 and 4 positions. It was a great plan and it worked. Our plan was to make Butler prepare for us, which I think is what Mike Anderson says is his plan for every game.
Life is too short for grudges and feuds.

We haven't recovered from the unexpected departure of Qualls

The SEC had been undefeated so it was law of Averages that we would lose.

Sure seems this way, unbelievable.

Worst defensive squad of the MA era.  When you stink at defense and have a cold day shooting, you're done.  If you excel at defense, you can overcome a poor day from the field.

Literally not a concern in the world to rebound.  Literally no indication that they understand the consequence of second chance points and multiple consecutive possessions by the opponent.  Literally no effort, no pride, no understanding of some of the very most fundamental basketball principles.

Horrible D, low basketball IQ, watch me offense and a coach that will not adjust.  Hate to say it but I'm ready for this senior class to move on.  Underachievers.

Oliver


mykidsdad

easy one. It was my fault. I had really, really good news off the court. As soon as I got the news, I knew we were doomed. I am very sorry all, but on the bright side, really, really good day for me.

Overconfidence.  So worn out on teams claiming they have "unfinished business" before they actually do something like win a game.

Lol this.  Who really cares if butler was more like a 7/8 seed.  In the NCAA tournament you gotta show up ready to beat great teams and we didn't.  Tennessee or Kentucky could have swapped spots with us and they'd still be playing in the next round.

All of that stuff is overrated, doncha know. Just tip off and see what happens.

or complain about lack of respect because they're not in the top 25.

The NCAA conspired with the referees, the Trilateral Commission, the Gnomes of Zurich, multinational corporations, and Satan to steal the game from us.

They picked us up when we got off the damn bus!

The team was excited to get back to town and see what it's like to beat Kentucky.  ;)

Mike Anderson can't recruit or coach defense.  If we can't play street ball we can't win.
