Niece had 37 points 11 rebounds in the loss.

Way to go Butler. :clap:

Good win for Butler.

 

Simon kenton, imo, has taken a couple of steps backwards over the last couple of games in the tourney both in play and coaching . Players were distraught after the win and visibly upset after loss on Thurs. Coaches going in a couple of different directions. Gone were the games with more balanced scoring and passing the ball and playing as a unified team.

 

They need that back if they are going to be successful at the end of the season.

That stinks! Hopefully they pull it together because they seem to have the tools to make a run.

 

However, it's odd with if what you say is true, that they played one of the best teams in the state to a 4 point loss...with all that going on. If there are internal issues, that kinda shows their potential if they pull it together.

 

I did notice the balance seemed to be gone though.

Good win for Butler.

I have a different perspective.

 

SK still has kids that underperform on the big stage. That is putting more pressure on Niece to score. SK also has kids whose roles and playing condition are in flux. Butler as well as Sacred Heart have experianced disciplined teams, accostomed to the big stage, whose kids have well defined roles.

 

SK played both of those programs very competitively, and, has a lot more room for improvement than both.

Lots of truth here. Dont know all the people involved but the big stage is not for every player. Its hard at the top. Lots of elbow room at the top. Sometimes these stages are good for teams and players. Its shows the coaches who is ready for prime time and who is not. For the players, its shows them alot the same. It exposed their weaknesses as well as the mental state of players. For parents it exposes their mental state only as they usually melt down when their kid cant do what they want them too. Not what the kids can do, but what they want them to do may not be realistic. Usually overall a good thing for all. Learn and move on. Get better. Or quit.

Much better team effort today on the stage. More shooting opportunities happened as a result of better ball movement.

 

Hope Meier to ok as I saw she didn't start today.
