That was our ‘Noah’s Ark’ team. We had two of everything-two point guards, multiple guys who could hit from outside, a couple guys who were god at slashing to the basket-and two ecellent inside scorers who worked well together. I’ll concede that the slashing game would have been muted with both big guys in there but they started together because they were so effective together. Our guards had to targets to get the ball inside and they could pass the ball back and forth, the was Jesse and Malig have been doing.

When Arinze went down, we were reduced to just one inside scorer. We wanted to exploit a percieved weakness inside vs. Butler but the played the passing lane to Rick well and we had something like 8 turnovers trying to get the ball to him and fell behind. We then went away from that and rallied but came up short in the end. Butler went on to lose to Duke when a buzzer shot by Heyward rimmed out. I’ve always thought with Arinze we win the Butler game because they can’t cover both options and then we go on to win it all.
