Butler narrowly defeats Seton Hall

Seton Hall has shown a penchant for comebacks this year and Butler has let even the largest of late leads dwindle at times. Nevertheless, when a Joey Brunk lay-up gave Butler a 17-point lead with 6:48 remaining, it was hard to imagine that anybody would be biting their nails in the last minute. As it happened, Myles Powell put up a three-pointer at the buzzer that would have won the game for Seton Hall had it gone in. It clanged off the iron, and Butler won 70-68, avoiding an embarrassing defeat.
