Tourney time Bulldogs' time to shine

Butler's Brad Stevens is 31 and in his first season, but already he says things you'd expect a veteran college basketball coach to say: No.

Lets go Dawgs. Keep the ball rolling and keep getting better.

Anyone know whether Pete Campbell will be playing? Is the injury (jammed thumb) to shooting hand? thanks in advance

Go Butler!! Good luck in Alaska!

Pete is playing. Thumb injury was nothing more than soreness and a light bruise.

Go BU. Anything less than 1st in Alaska will be a disappointment...goes to show how far BU Basketball has come!

thanks for the info. BTW, I hope Betko is NOT starting. I would like to see Graves, Green, Streicher, Campbell and Howard.

Finally, someone else sees the light. Nothing personal against the kid but it wasn't the best thing for the team when the NCAA granted him a 6th year. Licklighter wouldn't sit him last year when Campbell and Veasly were playing much better. If he plays in front of Howard and Jukes then there is a serious problem. Don't let senior loyalty hurt the team. Howard is needed on the court.

Yeah Dawgs - I'm ready for another fantastic year!!! Hoop it up!!

I disagree about Betko. He plays hard and while not outstanding at anything, he is at least decent at everything. Howard will get more minutes than him anyway, and we are not deep enough to not play him at all. There is room and a need for the skills of Betko, Howard, and Veasley. Also keep in mind that last year in the NIT Betko made the all tournamnet team, and he deserved it. Maybe he is at his best in these early season tournaments.

Go Dawgs! Let's win another tourney!
