Marshall's missed free throws allow Oklahoma State to squeak past Butler

Khyle Marshall missed two free throws with Butler down by one point and 8 seconds left.  My worst nightmare became a reality.  All season long I have been worried about anyone other than Dunham at the free throw line.  And the 55% free throw shooter Marshall (that percentage is now lower), is one guy who has good form but missed the first shot short and the second one long.  Nonetheless, Butler played admirably against the #5 team in the country.  I guess they ran out of miracles after last season.  Kellen Dunham had a makeable layup at the end that wouldn't fall.  The Bulldogs had their chances but Marcus Smart certainly left the door open with three consecutive missed free throws, so it was not just the Bulldogs missing free throws.  This has been an exciting Old Spice Classic and I am looking forward to the game tomorrow against an opponent yet to be decided.
