DAVE'S POSTGAME ANALYSIS

PLAYER OF THE GAME: Brandon Crone. Brandon was just short of a double-double, finishing with nine points and eight rebounds.

Polk led the Bulldogs with 13 points along with three rebounds and three assists. A. J. Graves was Butler's only other double figure scorer with 10 points. Avery Sheets added seven points, while fellow junior Bruce Horan finished with six. Gary Patterson had five points, Jamie Smalligan added four points and three rebounds, and Brian Ligon chipped in two points and four rebounds. CSU was led by Omari Westley, who finished with 21 points and nine rebounds despite quite visibly suffering the effects of the flu.

"We held onto the ball too long in the second half, " said Butler coach Todd Lickliter, "and struggled to execute when they turned the pressure up." I'm not sure what happens to this team around the 5:00 mark in the second half, but the offense seems to stop moving the ball and attacking the basket, points are few and far between, and all the momentum seems to swing to the opposition. "I thought our ball movement in the second half was really poor, very poor, " noted Lickliter. "If you saw the Loyola game, the Green Bay game, we moved the basketball, we shared it, we got people open, we shot open shots. You have to move the ball, and [tonight] we dribbled it and held on to it."

The brief homestand comes to an end with a visit from the Detroit Titans. Game time is Saturday, February 12, at 12:00 p.m. EST. The game will be televised live on FoxSports Midwest and FoxSports Detroit. Hope to see you there.
