The Butler Did It…

Butler defeated Minnesota last night 64-56

Didn’t watch the game, but clearly what could have been a nice non-conf contest for the resume’ is looking weaker after 2 consecutive losses by the Gophers.  Or they might be getting hungrier…

PAC-12 is 23-2 so far this year.  UW and Oregon have some good wins and CAL looks much improved

These early weeks are critical for the conference to building our resumes for post season.

Doing quite well so far.  Watched a lot of Oregon/Memphis (switching back and forth with the Jazz game) last night.

Technically they are 22-1 since one of the OOC games wasn’t actually OOC (ASU played Colorad9).

Watched a portion of the game. They were on the road and within 4-10 points for most of the game.
This is a game that will help increase confidence in our youth. It would be a setback to lose this one before we start getting into a grueling first part of season schedule.

The PAC 12 so far has looked very strong. Oregon, U of Pay, UW and others are big athletic and physical. If the Utes can go into regular season play with only two losses it would be ideal.
The inconsistencies will definitely be there. The top PAC 12 teams will be a challenge for these boys so look for up and downs throughout the year. I will say that in 3 years I expect LK team to make it to Sweet 16. IMO
