Butler coach LaVall Jordan after Butler's 75-45 win over Saint Louis David Woods/IndyStar
INDIANAPOLIS – It’s college basketball. There are outliers.
LaVall Jordan had perhaps seen nothing like it since his last victory as a Butler player. In the 2001 first round, the Bulldogs led Wake Forest 43-10 at halftime en route to their first NCAA tournament victory in 39 years.
Four minutes into the second half Saturday, Butler led Saint Louis 52-13 at Hinkle Fieldhouse. The Bulldogs won 75-45, and it was not that close.
The Bulldogs, 12-point favorites, led by 29 at halftime and by 40 in the second half.
