Recap: Butler - 60 Providence - 74 - BIG EAST Tournament Quarterfinals

Electric play from Kris Dunn and a near-record setting day from Ben Bentil leads Providence past Butler in the quarterfinals.

The elastic membrane of the college basketball bubble stretches wide and thin as the schedule becomes diluted with both the illustrious wins and the unsatisfying losses. There are few among us who could've accurately predicted the final outcome for both Providence and Butler's season, especially when the conference slate hit its midway point. I was firmly in the camp that Providence could potentially be the world class program that could take the BIG EAST to the promised land of the final four.
