Most Surprising During Butler Game?

[JaybobHoosier 11,852]

Troy Williams' nothing but net three pointer?

or

Refs man-crush on Kellen Dunham?

:)

If troy Williams develops a north of 39% three point shot, he deserves every oladipo comparison out there during the games. Dude is legit and I'm hoping his troubles are behind him and he has grown up.

I would like to submit option 3. Nick Zeisloft going all Iron Sheik at the end and fighting for the ball. Was he a little over zealous...sure, but there isn't a coach in the world who wouldn't appreciate the effort.

That dude brings a scrappy effort I thought we should have had with Will last year. Much needed IMO.

I absolutely loved how Z3 fought for that ball. I know the TV announcers hated it but i thought it was scrappy dappy! Good job Z3

The more I think about.. most surprising - our rebounding.. we can bang with some serious teams if we are going to go after boards like that

I saw Max Hoetzel box out yesterday. Well, either him or Zeisloft, but I saw a box out. It was amazing.

[bleedhoosier 3,627]

To build off this.. blackmon still had 8 boards. I love it. Goes back to Crean talking about still affecting the game in a major way even when ur shot is off for the night

I saw Z take a guy from the right block to the free throw line. I rejoiced.

[bleedhoosier 3,627]

If I'm Crean I'm showing the team all rebounding highlights from the game amd then going all Will Smith on them "NOW THAT'S HOW U SPOS'D TO BOARD..FROM NOW ON.. THAT'S HOW YOU BOARD"

I really like Max. I think he has a big upside.

Troy did have 2 turnovers, but one of them was a nice hustle play I'll take out of him any day out of the week.  He went up for a rebound, knocked it out of a Butler player's hands, then came down with the rebound but got called for travelling after falling down and sliding on his back.  I was actually pretty pumped after that play.

Most surprising------Troy certainly---but I will say Perea----he has continued to improve his game.

 

I loved how he blocked and changed many Butler shots---becoming the rim protector we need!

Rewatched the game and Z's foul at the end of the game was awesome. He was so fired up

Thought the same thing. I was flipping out during the live game but running back through, we didn't play as bad as I originally thought for a few stretches. I was just wanting to beat butler so bad I was coming down on Crean way too hard.

I thought our tenacity was level throughout. Great effort all around. Even more solid win against a fundamental Butler squad.

It was, agreed. That was some inspired ball. We are so good on offense 90% of the time. We still have a lot of defensive work to do but if we can mimic the be rebound energy we will become pretty hard to put away

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Agree Bleedhoosier---I though the difference was our attitude and intensity and energy----it was a war---and we came to win it and played like it for the whole 40 minutes.  Loved the effort!
