    We play Thursday (Butler) 6pm
    Friday (Duke or Portland St) 2 or 430pm
    The team will probably have Thanksgiving meal on Saturday
    Then have another game on Sunday in Portland (opp/time unknown)

    Hopefully it will be 4:30 game, finally beat Duke, then roll into the football game at 7. All while in a turkey/L-tryptophan coma

    I don't see how we don't beat Butler. Duke is going to be an epic showdown.

    They did lose their good coach -- Chris Holtmann -- who took their top recruit with him to tOSU. And they also lost 4 of their top 7 scorers from last season

    OTOH, they have made every NCAA tourney since 2007 except two

    Butler has a pretty terrible defense this year - one of the worst perimeter D’s in college basketball. If any one or two of our guys heats up from the arc, it will be ugly for them. They’re undersized too so our bigs are going to give them tremendous difficulty in the paint. Butler is always a program to respect though so it will be a good game to watch.
