Da’Sean Butler can’t jump

Q. Da’Sean, you were here two years ago when Joe Alexander went on that amazing run and really kind of became a household name. I’m just kind of wondering if you felt any similarities between what you’ve done in the BIG EAST tournament and your game-winning shots this year compared to what Joe Alexander went through couple of years ago.

DA’SEAN BUTLER: No, I couldn’t compare myself to Joey. He brought us — brought me especially to my first Sweet 16. First tournament appearance ever. He did so much for the team in general during the season that, you know, things I get to do still. He’s just a different player than I am. So I can’t really compare myself to him. Just things are just going good now. I’m just grateful for that. I can’t really say that on the level of his game where he was his junior year and this is my senior year.

Q. Popularity-wise?

DA’SEAN BUTLER: No. Everybody likes the white guy that can jump. I can’t jump. That’s his thing. I can’t really keep up with that.

Open post, everybody. Enjoy the game as viewed from the edge of your seat.
