The Butler Bulldogs outlast the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders 75-64 in the Round of 32 in Milwaukee to reach the Sweet 16.

Again, thank God. I couldn’t handle if another Big East team went down today.

The Bulldogs dominated early in the first half, leading by as many as 13 points on 6-of-7 shooting from behind the arc. Kelan Martin was able to score 12 of Butler’s final 18 points of the half after coming off the bench.
