The Butler University men’s basketball team rolled over the Norfolk State Spartans on Nov. 21 in Hinkle Fieldhouse by the score of 91-55.

The Spartans (2-3, 0-0 MEAC) featured a 2-3 zone for the majority of the game, and the Bulldogs (4-0, 0-0 Big East) countered with an effective mix of quick ball movement and accurate three point shooting. A 19-0 Butler run toward the end of the first half essentially put the game out of reach at halftime as the Bulldogs headed to the locker room with a 50-24 lead.
