On Wednesday night, the Blue Demons set foot in Hinkle Fieldhouse to take on the (7-4) Butler Bulldogs.
Butler had the first punch in this fight. To start, the Bulldogs jumped out to a 6 point lead (14-8), which would eventually extend to a 10 point lead (24-14) after a Simas Lukosius and-one with 10:56 left in the first half.
DePaul would score the next two baskets to cut Butler’s lead to 6, but the Bulldogs’ Chuck Harris hit a three to bring the lead back to 9. This was seemingly the trend throughout the entire game.
