Butler at Xavier - Sun on FS1

[kmacker69]

X played really hard, But Butler is playing damn well right now. I think they get it back on track the next few games and hurt a few teams feelings. Not that I won't be rooting against them every game, but they are good enough still. (Well until the tourney starts and then I'll swallow the hate and root for a Big East team.)

very entertaining highly competitive game until the last 3 min when Xavier kept turning the ball over. (Butler had a lot to do with that)

I agree with the announcer who kept saying that these two teams are playing at a high level and at the right time.

Kelan Martin finally waking up and playing to his potential makes Butler a legit final 4 contender.

Turnovers have proven to be Xavier's Achilles' Heel. They have committed more TOs than their opponent in all but one of their losses (Colorado). Free Throws haven't been their friend either.

Losing Sumner, their primary ball handler and one of their better FT shooters, has made both of those weaknesses worse.

Losing one of our top returning scorers and leaders from last year's team, Myles Davis, was a bummer also. He was among our best shooters from the perimeter and from the foul line and would have filled in admirably at the point once he was back in shape.
