I didn't see the start of the game, but was there any mention of Kyle Young being hurt or was it a coaches decision to not play him? Kyle Young did not get into the game while nine others did.

It’s gonna be interesting to see how the acc and duke apologists explain this. Sent from my iPhone using Butler Hoops mobile app
I was looking to see how Kentucky was doing against Mizzou (not well ) thinking if they lost we could gain some ground on them in the Kenpom rank. But they are at #28 and we are at #19, so it doesn't matter - just let that sink in a little bit
Already heard the ACC excuse. It was a “trap game” before they played Carolina. Blaming it as a scheduling error. Sent from my iPhone using Butler Hoops
I believe that's right. Our "last 10" games kenpom rank has got to be in the top 5, I would think. And we have it in our grasp to make a major move if we can put X down on Tuesday. It is rather amazing what is going on.
The offense sort of just finally "clicked" around the turn of the new year. It seems the defense is finally syncing up now too. In retrospect, it kinda all makes sense. Entirely new staff, high roster turnover....it was dumb to expect us to be much good at first.
Hope our offense and defense clicks as much in our next two games-, Xavier and Nova, as it was against Depaul, Marquette and St. John's . Our bigs don't do well against X. It would be awesome if we can take one of those two.

Not a good night for Butler's non-con opponents. They went 1-5, with the one win coming over yet another opponent.
