Seton Hall shot roughly 12% better than Butler from the field on Wednesday night and had 15 more attempts from the line. Sound like a blowout? It wasn’t. Due to poor free throw shooting and turnover trouble, the Pirates could never really put Butler completely away. In the end, Seton Hall made just enough free throws to stay ahead of the Bulldogs biting at their heels, and prevailed 76-75.
Butler had a chance to tie the game when Kamar Baldwin let a three-pointer fly with just under a minute left, but he missed.
