Recap: Martin scores career high as Bulldogs beat Hoyas at home

Kelan Martin, Roosevelt Jones and Kellen Dunham accounted for 72 combined points while Butler defeats Georgetown 87-76.

For just over a month, the Butler Bulldogs have been looking for a statement conference win. More importantly, they've been looking for a momentum booster of sorts, opening their Big East schedule with a disappointing 3-6 record after climbing all the way up into the Top 10 during non-conference play. Fortunately for head coach Chris Holtmann and company, his Bulldogs may have just gotten that on Tuesday evening.

Behind a career-high 35 points from (who else?) sophomore savant Kelan Martin, Butler sent the visiting Georgetown Hoyas a reminder of what their team can do offensively when all gears are clicking, and oh boy, were they clicking tonight en route to a 87-76 victory.
