Butler and Seton Hall did not move up in the BIG EAST standings with their wins on Wednesday, but they did get back on track a little. Marquette picked up a non-conference victory.
Butler had lost three of its last four before defeating DePaul 67-53 at Hinkle Fieldhouse. Roosevelt Jones led the Bulldogs with 23 points and Kellen Dunham added 16 points. A late first-half run gave Butler a 33-23 lead at halftime and the Bulldogs led until the final buzzer.
Eli Cain and Tommy Hamilton IV each scored 13 points for the Blue Demons.
