First day of tourney is on ESPNU now. Missed his first game but AB’s team will play again at 4:05 and 5:25. Appears the ESPNU coverage ends at 4:00. Assuming the game will be on ESPN+ but not sure.

Be nice if horrendous Nelson instructed his guys to put a body on someone.

Your rapier wit never fails to impress! I have to admire your courage in weighing in here on Austin Butler's play after embarrassing yourself repeatedly with your evaluations of his talent level and his play at Holy Cross. Double down!!

AB is a very solid player who persevered under difficult circumstances and remained loyal to HC when many others did not. End.

Un-end. 100% agree with “very solid.” Other(s) have built up this fantasy in their mind about him like he’s a cross between Jordan, Rodman, Russell, and Curry. Re-end.

There you go with a repeat of the bogus debate technique, exaggerating the other side's position in such a silly way. Please show us any post where anyone said Austin Butler was the best player in the PL or the best player of the decade at Holy Cross or anything even halfway to your statement above.
Stop the nonsense. You've got to know when to cut your losses.

Can somebody help me out? I know AB played on teams that lost a ton of games, but I'm blanking on who he played for. I think one coach was someone named Carmody, but the other - ah, was it Harry Nilsson....um, George Brett? Nah.....Ozzie Nelson? Brett Somers? Knocker Felsen? Thanks in advance for the feedback; damn, getting old.

Fact: Played in more losses than any player in HC history. Based on your comments re: Nelson, I would think W’s & L’s matter to you, but I guess not when it comes to players. End. Fact: Butler is the 13th player in school history to score his 1000th point as a junior. The loss record might be safe as no one wants to stick around during adversity. Our most recent four year span produced more losses than Butler's four years on the hill, but every basically every freshmen and sophomore on that 3-29 debacle jumped ship. You seem to like hyperboles. No one ever compared Butler to Jordan, Rodman, Russell, or Curry. There has been a decent amount of rebuttal about comments that Butler was not a D-I player, but not to the level of calling the kid a basketball god You know enough about the game that I will assume your not D-I player was also hyperbole. On this board, I tend to jump in on defense against criticisms that I think are unjustified or over the top, even if I agree with 90 percent of the other criticisms. In general, I think your criticisms of Butler have been hyperbole at best or unjustified at worst. Today was the first time I recall reading that you thought that Butler was a solid player

If anyone is exaggerating here, it’s been you. End.

Bring Back’s obsession with AB is one of the more bizarre things this board has ever seen. And it’s seen some bizarre stuff.

Well, even if Austin does not get paid to play after today, he does have pro experience to brag about to his children and grandchildren.

Austin's team lost in the finals to a team from BE/ A-10.
Ragged, tired play in the final.
