WASHINGTON – Butler, whose offensive tempo is one of the slowest in college basketball, played out of character.
It worked. Boy, did it work. Long enough anyway.
The Bulldogs outscored Georgetown 32-6 in span of about 11 minutes bridging the two halves, and they built a 20-point lead en route to a 72-58 victory Thursday night in the Big East.
