These guys don't know shite about NCAA basketball. We've been mediocre a lot longer than a decade.

Don’t know why but this feels like it has first round exit all over it.

Hope to baby Jesus we don’t think about looking ahead.

They’ve beaten Nova and Ohio State, that’s two big wins.

Someone tell me I’m dumb.

They are a quality team.

Butler’s top wins were over Villanova and Ohio State, and also beat Providence, Creighton and Seton Hall. Butler was once 17-7 before losing six of its last nine, but its overall resume was easily enough to merit inclusion in the 68-team field.

Where will they give us problems?

Beyond the obvious 3 point defending issues.

I need to do more research but they seem to have a deep bench too. They shoot freethrows really well.

Keelan will probably be the best basketball player we have faced all year.

This is what scares me but athletically we will give them major problems.
We also need Hall to stay aggressive and play with the energy he has the last few games.

And Trae Young when he was on fire early in the year?

Well shite.

Can he step out and hit threes or just down low?

He can step out.

He is like Alonzo lane but can dribble and shoot.

I was trying to compare him to one of our players that we are familiar with.

Just because I'm young doesn't mean I don't know my history.

He sounds more like a Charles Thomas type with more range.

Alonzo Lane couldn't really do any basketball things if memory serves me right.

He was like a worse, chunkier combo of Dustin Thomas and Arlando Cook.

Thomas is more accurate.

Lane had some of the best post moves of any Arkansas big that we've had since the early 90s... he just couldn't finish.
