Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

East 2nd: (Detroit)10 Butler vs. 2 Purdue (-3.5)
12:15PM, CBS - Ian Eagle, Jim Spanarkel, Allie LaForce

If Haas plays, I could actually see him being a poor option for Purdue's offense, with his shot just being a bit off.

Drink every time Haarms touches his hair.

Bulldogs off to a good start. Pulling hard for you guys today.

This sounds like a Big Ten Network broadcast.

Big third foul on Vincent Edwards.
Butler great start. Purdue will their run. 4 point game. Should be anyone's game.

3 fouls on Edwards and Haarms looks gassed. Really like Butler in the second half, but we’ll see.

Through halftime of this game, Big East teams have (if my math is right) 183 fouls in 8 1/2 games. Opponents have 133. Big East teams have been called for at least 21 in all but 1 game (Nova 16 vs Radford). BE opponents have had only 2 teams (NC St 30, Tex. So. 21) called for more than 17. My question is, why can't BE teams draw more fouls?

Butler is the harder matchup for Nova if it comes to that. We'd make Purdue look worse than Virginia...

Still rooting for Butler.

Butler had a shot at the end, nice effort. Now we really need X to win.
