This includes a win against a Power Five program in Oklahoma during the Big East-Big 12 battle. In Butler’s most recent game they returned to Hinkle Fieldhouse and beat Eastern Illinois 66-54. The Bulldogs got off to a strong start, going up by double digits at halftime. They were able to control the game in the second half to see out the victory. The defense stepped up, forcing 16 turnovers, including seven steals, and held EIU to 29.
