I can say without equivocation that I did not anticipate anything close to this. My only criticism is the turnovers, and we're still up 18. I think we can expect lots of pressing by Butler in the second half, so hopefully we won't see a repeat of Syracuse.

Up 18 at the half. Good 1st opponent @ home.
Marcus Derrickson has been stellar and the best player on the floor. Our defensive rotations are so much better and it leads to good positioning for rebounds, clearly a team that's being coached well.
Blair, Mosely good.... Dickerson fair.... Mulmore bad.

Gotta get the ball out of our guard's hands. Glad they are attacking because everyone needs to continue too but their chances need to be limited; let all other 4 guys touch the ball before the PG is getting the ball back. Would like to see some posting up of Moseley (and try the other guards) but doesn't seem like that is in Pat's offense (yet).

Great first half! Now we need to put the peddle to the metal and play killer defense. Not that our defense was bad in the first. Let's keep it going.

God damn, Dickerson and Mulmore need to get their heads out of their asses and play the lead guard position with at least some semblance of intelligence. Our team looks great sans those 2 guys. Love what Juggy is giving us. We need to win the first 5 minutes. Think if we hit 65 then we coast to a victory. Dickerson does have 3 assists, leading the team.

The team looks greatly improved over the last 2 years. The offense is very fluent and constantly looking to attack (no more swinging the ball around the perimeter as the shot clock expires).

And very few Butler offensive rebounds. Don’t love our guards but they do rebound.

Please never play Mulmore another minute. Baffling how he gets minutes Because Dickerson is his backup and he is somehow worse. Dickerson is far from great, but give me him over Mulmore all day. Neither are starting point guards on quality teams but they are what we have and I think Dickerson is 'less bad'.

Pickett is far too casual with the ball

Im not going to do too much arguing in a battle of bad and worse but one guy is a 52/46/76 shooter 2/1 AST/TO guy and the other is a 42/15/58 1.3 AST/TO guy. Ill take the former but honestly unless a team is pressing I would got with Jagan and Blair and just feed the post.

I don't mind the fast pace turnovers as much as Mulmore's two TOs on charges, dribbling it off his knee, Pickett dribbling off his ankle...they really need to cut down.

Thanks. I see a lot of harsh criticism, but they are valid.

They are really ignoring Mulmore on the offensive end. Just no threat from outside and its 50/50 when he drives if he gets a foul or picks up one.
