INDIANAPOLIS – If you are a Butler fan frustrated by the Bulldogs, you are no different from any college basketball fan of any other team.
Watch Saturday’s 69-54 thumping of Providence, or the 92-72 blowout at Marquette, and you think Butler’s defense is enough to ensure another deep March run.
Watch Xavier and Georgetown shoot 59 percent at Hinkle Fieldhouse, and you wonder if the Bulldogs can play defense at all.
That’s the sport these days. Top-5 teams lose to unranked opponents daily. The elite are erratic. To calm the chaos, respond and defend as the Bulldogs did.
