Point guard problems
Markus Howard’s final line looks alright at first glance. He scored 19 points, shooting an efficient 5-for-8 from 3-point range. However, he struggled selecting the right time to drive Tuesday, often running into double coverage or into a well-positioned Butler big. He was blocked on five of his six attempts from inside the arc.
“One of the things that we talked about coming into the game is that when you are able to penetrate against them you’ve got to keep your feet and or keep your dribble because they converge on penetration,” Wojciechowski said.
