Butler vs. Xavier 2017 final score: Bulldogs sweep another season series with Musketeers

The Butler Bulldogs surged over the Xavier Musketeers in the final five minutes of the game to notch the 88-79 victory at the Cintas Center.

Do you understand what this means?!

The Bulldogs completed the season sweep of both Villanova and Xavier and locked up the #2 seed in the Big East. THIS IS NOT A DRILL PEOPLE.

Y’all picked the Dawgs to finish 6th in the Big East, and they are 100 percent owed an apology honestly.

In the first half, neither team gave the other much breathing room. Both teams were shooting very well from the field; Butler shooting 51 percent and Xavier shooting 48 percent.
