Butler beats Villanova 73-61.  Villanova went 2-28 from 3 and it shows when you rely on the 3 it can come back to bite you.  Butler went 9-20 from the free throw line and had to hit their last 4 to get up to that percentage.

Yes, shooting a lot of threes is the only style of play that can come back to bite you. There has never been a 16 seed beat a 1 seed because they came out and banged 50% of their threes.

Watching a lot of games I just don't understand why so many players have trouble scoring inside right around the basket.  I see very few pump fakes to get the defense off balance or any real post moves.  it is just dribbling your defender down to the basket and then just throws the ball up hoping it goes in.  Players just aren't able or comfortable playing with their back to the basket.  The one of the best I have seen is a 6'6 player in Liddell of OSU.

Also dont get why more players will avoid using the glass.

I’m sure there is something I don’t understand about this. Anyone care to elaborate?

I think these smaller programs want to get into the tournament and if they don't then they want a new coach.  The thing is that in a mid major conference where you will only get one bid it makes it so much harder to get in the tournament.

I am confused why the are firing him too, he hasn’t done a bad job at ISU

Yeah mixed results but in terms of ISU hasn’t been terrible. Scott probably is right. I’m sure they make a crap load if they make the tournament. Maybe they have someone already lined up.
