The Butler University men’s basketball team defeated Bucknell University 86-60 in the first round of the Continental Tire Las Vegas Invitational at Hinkle Fieldhouse on Nov. 19.

“There are a lot of good things that we can take from today,” head coach Chris Holtmann said. “I loved how we moved the ball and shared the ball. You have to do that, especially against a team like Bucknell and how they defend.
