Butler Goes Down Out West

Another tough loss for the Butler Bulldogs. Even with different guys inserted into the starting lineup, this team couldn't get it going offensively.  They shot 30 percent for the game, hard to tell what is going to turn that around other than working on the shot selection, and hoping that shots start going down.  Defensively, the team played well, but allowing over 70 points isn't going to help the offensive side.  I think that the Dawgs would need teams to score right around 60 if they want to stay in the game, and they can't get their shots going.  Ethan Fromm had a great game scoring 16 points in a losing cause.  Khyle Marshall had 10 points, but no other Bulldog was in double figures.  That needs to change as well.  Everyone needs to pick up their scoring, especially Chrishawn Hopkins, who has seemingly dropped off.  He only got 2 points last night in 14 minutes of action.  Not sure what's going on with him, but he needs to get back in the game. He's a guy who can get his own shot and help others get theirs.  Butler had a chance to get in this game after getting as close as 6, but they couldn't get any closer, and Gonzaga pulled away.  One final non-conference game is left, and then it's all systems go for the conference season.  Can Butler get that magic back they've had for the past two years, and all the years they've won this league?
