VCU/Butler in game

[airportis]

VCU making them run, Butler better be careful, they wont hang with VCU playing at this pace

:0corn


if VCU can keep knocking down shots, the pressure will be there on the inbounds.

Lots of open looks from 3 for VCU too...after missing a few early they knocked down 3 in a row.

looks to be a good one

I'm really surprised how poor Butler is handling this pressure. VCU is dictating pace.

 

[DZ]

it's early... I just took Butler -1 at 5dimes. we'll see what happens

 

[airportis]

Butler will need to tighten up on D to dictate the pace. VCU is getting some wide open looks and if they get knocked down, it allows VCU to set up that press.

I am surprised at how quickly they got a shot up when they did break the press.

VCU offense will dictate this game. Made shots = pressure and Butler looks confused out there so far.

 

[Morris]

But better try to slow this down VCU just looks more atheletic.

 

[LetsMakeMoney]

butler is in trouble they look in slow motion compared to vcu

They can't hit anything in the paint.

 

[airportis]

man VCU is really all over them on defense. very impressive so far and hopefully they keep up the intensity.

Looks like the game is settling in. Looks like the jitters for Butler came out in the form of letting VCU dictate the pace for the first 4-5 minutes. Little to no scoring since and lots of shot clock using possessions.

VCU will continue to try to pressure after made shots......they just have to make shots to do it opcorn2

I dont know how big a fan I am of playing these games in a football stadium.

Would rather them be played in an NBA arena if they need more seats. I dont like how unnatural it is to be playing in such a huge wide open arena.

Changes the game for both teams I think. Need to make make unnecessary adjustments just so the NCAA can make a few extra bucks by throwing more people in seats.

 

[airportis]

why is Nored shooting? didnt Veal jump over the back of Smith?

 

[Bennymac17]

VCU has to control these fouls...last thing they want is to slow this down and put Butler on the line. They will hit their free throws

 

[airportis]

Butler has tightened up outside. VCU hasnt attempted a 3 in a while now.

 

[LetsMakeMoney]

come butler now they look same speed as vcu :0008

no matter how unfair or ridiculous the sight lines are the final 4 will never be held in a basketball stadium again......60-70k vs 20k????

no chance.
