Houston, Do We Have a Problem?

It's only been two days, but man, that 11 game winning streak feels eons ago already.

There's no shame in losing to Butler, a very good, disciplined team of unorthodox wings and shooting bigs that will give any team trouble any night they step on the court. They make difficult, off-balance shots and constantly attack weak points. Butler's coaching staff did a wonderful job exploiting Purdue's liabilities on defense, trusting their players to hit enough tough shots and push in transition to make up for their lack of size. Butler ended up shooting under 40% from the floor, but seemed to come up with flurries of points whenever they really needed it.
