HOW ABOUT BUTLER!!!!

the dark knight rises so many feels oh god GIF
 
We have to play Butler as many minutes as we can while Kerr is out. I don't think we can afford to give a lot of minutes to Perry. Would like to just see us switch solely to Jaxson at the 1 when Butler has to come off the court.

So much of it is about matchups. We beat Gonzaga (much better team than UL) without Butler, yet would never have won this game today without him. The reason? Hepburn was just a bad matchup for the Jax/Perry combo.
 
One of the ALL-Time UK performances against the Cards!!!!

Didn't miss a shot from the floor and canned 6 3's!!!!

If he would have made more FT's could have scored even more!!!!

Glad he was able to play, if he hadn't, I don't think we win today!!!
 
Having a PG who is a consistent threat beyond the arc, which Butler clearly seems to have become, makes a world of difference. Makes it hard for the defense to cheat. Makes it easier for other players to find scoring opportunities. Cures a lot of ills when other things might not be clicking.
 
Butler has exceeded my expectations. I had a feeling he would be good...but he wasn't exactly known as a big time offensive player before coming here. But man he has really taken a huge step on offense under Popes system.
