Game Thread: Butler @ Oklahoma (12/7)

I'd prefer to not have him at Butler University.

 

We do have a bad loss-aTm....they'll finish either dead last or second to dead last (behind GA) in the sec. And even though the score doesn't necessarily say it...they pretty much whooped our asses too.

Your Other points in #2 are spot on.

 

Who?

 

Insane mentioned Carlos Johnson among those who would've been playing for BU. Putting him in the same camp as Coles or Battle is just....bad.

 

Oh I didn't see that. And yes I agree. Sucks to lose a talent like that but yeah, can't have that.

 

agree. Didn’t mean to say he is the character we want. He was a talented player that we lost. My argument is still the same. This team is a mid major team at best without a healthy Nze and Hodges. And neither is going to play until at least January. I’ll state it again any team that has to rely on AT, Harris, Golden, Taylor, Simas, David, DJ, Wilmoth is going to lose every game in the BE. Only way we can compete in the BE is with a healthy Nze and Hodges along with Bolden and Groce. Throw in whoever you want to make a five. And that five had the potential to finish fifth or sixth in conference. Nze , Hodges and Tate won’t be back anytime soon. We are going to win one game and lose seven before GT visits when we might have Tate and Hodges available.

 

I think our biggest issue will eventually not be not being able to play with good teams, but more so that we just won’t be able to accumulate enough wins.

I'm expecting it to be like last year. We'll squeak out a few wins during conference play, maybe even upset a good team, but it's going to be rough. Rough enough to cost LJ his job? Probably not. Good enough to be a bubble team? Certainly not. It's a bad place to be.

 

Oklahoma 72
Butler 54

 

Georgetown always seems to win at Hinkle even when we have solid teams so no way counting on that one, either.

 

I'm going 76-55

 

One post in the SVSU thread and now 2 in the Oklahoma thread...

 

The team has had 2ish weeks to prepare for this game since playing the Silverswords men of Chaminade University. I have 0% confidence that the team will win, but (outside of wishing you guys win money) I sure hope they look like a good Butler team and everything I've known to embody what is Butler basketball

 

never left. Laughed my ass off for over a year at the expertise from several on here. Not you the GIF king.

 

Insane! Welcome back!!!

 

Just hoping the game starts on time

 

Well, against my better judgment, I’m going to watch this.

 

I'm going to keep watching and rooting even if we go down in flames, but it might not be fun unless these kids find a way to turn this around.

 

God, I wish we had Porter Moser.

 

Golden is so lazy. COME HELP THE GUY WHO PICKED UP HIS DRIBBLE
