That was awesome.

Butler said he talks to Buzz every couple days, but I'm glad to see he is still connected to MU (and not just Buzz) and trying to get more connected with Wojo.

The publicity on Jimmy wearing these shoes had to be worth a couple million dollars. It was everywhere on Twitter last night.

Butler is at the Pavilion watching the game tonight as well. Unfortunately Nova's 3-point shooting showed up as well.

It wasn't just the number of tweets, it was how many of them were saying, "I HAVE TO GET THOSE!" or "Where can I get those?".... "I need those shoes!" Those weren't all MU fans, they were Bulls fans, Jimmy fans and general basketball fans.

53 for Jimmy tonight with about a minute left in OT.

The Bulls were playing so well with Rose and Noah out, and their return has sent them back into a funk. At this point, the Bulls need to build around Jimmy, Mirotic, Portis, and hopefully acquire one more star, as the current group is not going anywhere. Dreaming of a way for Bulls to somehow land Kris Dunn, as I think he would be perfect to pair with the rest of the young core.

One of my nieces was in several classes with him including being on the same group project team for one of the classes and anytime he has a big game or play she fires off a text to me - including tonight - she says he was really nice and not full of himself at all.

So just the opposite of a leggy supermodel lovin', former Lil' Monarchs player? Noted.

BTW, was that a niece or a "niece"?

Butler re-entered the game with 8:30 left in the 2nd quarter last night. And didn't come out the rest of the way.

32 straight minutes in regulation and 5 more in OT. Pretty impressive.

I haven't looked closely, but is he playing less minutes this year? I know that was a big complaint about Thibs.

Real niece - no quotes.
