The Butler men’s basketball team defeated Georgetown University on Feb. 2 with a final score of 87-76. With the win, the Bulldogs improve to 15-7 overall and 4-6 in Big East play. Georgetown falls to 13-10 on the season and 6-4 in conference play.

The Bulldogs had something else they were playing for last night. Head coach Chris Holtmann announced yesterday at the post-game press conference that the team was mourning the loss of Butler assistant coach Emerson Kampen and his wife Kylie’s 6-month-old son.
