Lamar Baldwin leads #12 Butler to another big win beating # 15 Xavier.

I'm not complaining about another Georgia player who got away, but the way the way the coaches handle them.

Baldwin was needed, embraced, and was expected to be a contributor. Our freshmen were also needed, but were sent to the basement to be broken down and remolded into the image that Fox wanted.

Baldwin is now leading those Bulldogs with 21 points and 9 rebounds last night, and was the star of the game. Could our guys do that???

Looking at Butler's roster before Baldwin verses our roster -- we are better. They would kill to have Maten or JJ. Early on, they just hoped for some sort of contribution from Baldwin, just like we needed something from Crump and Harris. They are now a three seed, and we are 1st Four Out.

My guess is if Crump and Harris had both gone to Butler, they would be making big contributions and probably starring. If Baldwin came here he would be struggling for minutes.

Sorry to repeat my gripe, but I am a big fan of both teams and see it every week!
