INDIANAPOLIS – How historic was Butler’s 20-point comeback to beat DePaul?
Data suggest it wasn't. In fact, Butler was in more peril in five other victories in this college basketball season.
The 11th-ranked Bulldogs will try not to be so fragile when they resume Big East road life Wednesday night against Seton Hall at Newark, N.J. In the aftermath of No. 2 Villanova's 74-72 loss at Marquette on Tuesday night, Butler could tie the Wildcats for first place at 7-2.
On the other hand, a loss by Butler (17-3, 6-2) would enhance the Pirates’ NCAA tournament chances.
