Watched some of that UConn/Marquette game. UConn looks better than I thought they would, or Marquette is really not that great...
Watching SH struggle at Creighton last night reminded me of Butler’s trip to Omaha last season. Sent from my iPhone using Butler Hoops
Which year? Dawgs have only gotten worse at Creighton. 2016 - lost by 8 2017 - lost by 11 2018 - lost by 11 2019 - lost by 14 2020 - lost by 22 In 2017 and 2020 both teams were ranked in Top 25 Sent from my iPad using Butler Hoops mobile app
Agree with you. And I knew what year you were referring to. It's just that Omaha has been a horrible experience for Butler (and only getting worse). I used your prompt to introduce that evidence.
Butler won there in 2015 58-56 when Butler was ranked 19 and Creighton was unranked. Butler was 18-7 heading into the game and Creighton was 12-14. Less than a month earlier, Butler won by 3 at Hinkle and neither team was ranked.
We had an ice/snow storm in Memphis that day/night. Power was out at my crib and I called every midtown and east memphis bar I could, finally found one open with power-The Slider Inn (oddly, great wings). Found a lyft driver and took my happy (cold) ass down there for the game. That was a typical Jones nutso finish. Good memories.
