Hinkle is a tough place to play, but then again it is Butler. Ain't gonna have a chance without solid defense and rebounding.

Needs some Malinowski magic. He went off there in a big way.

We have historically (outside of the CO game) had success there. Butler stinks as a team we are just worse. It's a good place to shoot and having played there back in the day, it can be a little drafty but they have improved that over the years. My guess is the game unfolds a bit like the Seton Hall game with low scoring overall.
After getting shelled by 30 at our place, there is no way to go but up. If we lose this one, that is a wrap on the W's for the season.

Butler giving 6.5. O/u 139. And I’ll take the under if pages of game posts is 8 (this appears to be fifth post in the discussion thread so far)
Sunday morning UPDATE: Line seems to have tightened (once again opening number seems to be too dismissive of Hoyas’ chances). Fan Duel now has it at 4.5 with DraftKings at flat 5 and others tending to be about that or half point higher. O/U has settled at 138.5.

Will Wahab play? While he clearly regressed this year, I hate to see his career at the Hilltop end on such a sour note.
How many minutes/seconds into the game before one of the designated stars decides to go iso against a double team and forces up a bad shot?
When will the first poorly thrown Hoya pass occur leading to a TO, or a Hoya guard lose the handle on the ball while dribbling into a crowded lane?
How many times will we hear that the Hoyas compete hard and stay close in these games?
Will the announcers at some point criticize the Hoyas for not passing the ball?
I miss Hoya basketball but have yet to make it through the first half of any game this month without shutting it off. I watch to see Heath, Ryan, Riley, Akok and Bristol play as I hope that somehow they will return next year. Actually would not mind seeing everyone back if we have a coach committed to playing team ball and exercising some discipline/restraint on his stars.

Hope Q is doing ok, glad to see him back. Also hope that Ryan continues to get some minutes to play through mistakes. One more W this season would be nice.

Never mind - Murray goes iso/me ball on 1st play. We're doomed.

If you were hoping for uninspired play and terrible shot taking, then the start of this game is what you were looking for.
