Yep. Good for my xavier halftime bet.

 

Good game. Butler up 2 with 30 sec left

Wow xavier got a turnover diving on a loose ball but called a timeout they didn’t have. Dumb play but understandable. 

[str8baller 7,595]

Wait…what’s the point of a technical foul if you don’t get the ball back?

[str8baller 7,595]

Wtf…now butler commits an open court foul to let Xavier try and tie it????

Oh such a Butler brain cramp!

Cmon souleysouleysouley

Since X had possession I think they retain the ball after the technical free throws

Just college basketball delivering on a Friday

That cannot be a goaltend?!!?

oh wait…Jones grabs the rim, but it’s after the block 

[str8baller 7,595]

And a goaltend call at the end? Crazy

Game winning goal tending?!

Not sure if it is the offense or not. Guys like kopp and Galloway and even jhs pass up a bunch of contested 3s. I think with XJ healthy that may not have looked quite so drastic. 

Oh, for sure. Their decision-making is huge.  They also benefit from having a post guy who’s always gonna get doubled and has become really adept at reading it and moving the ball. But, I put those on coaching as well.

Crazy game. Nice win for butler. Xavier is our best win tho so I’m conflicted!

Would Purdue be our best win?

I got the under at 145, I can’t afford OT

Clearly goaltending:)

No need to be conflicted.  Still a great win for IU and just a road loss for X where it was controversial.   Actually helps IU in a way if IU and X are on the same seed line.   Head to head could come into play if their resumes are similar

Xavier and Illinois road are probably still just as good.

For what it’s worth Torvik’s IU rooting guide said XU @ Butler had as a conflicted outcome, probably for the reasons cited above: tradeoff between keeping the XU resume strong vs. chance a loss helps move IU above them on the S-curve https://barttorvik.com/bubble-guide.php?team=Indiana
