INDIANAPOLIS – There is no metric for anxiety in college basketball. Yet based on the way they defended, the way they lost and the way they spoke, the Butler Bulldogs are feeling it.
“I’d say we’re ready to get back at it,” Kamar Baldwin insisted. “Take this on the chin and get ready for our next opponent.”
After a second successive knockout, the Bulldogs’ opponent might be looking back at them in the mirror.
“I think we got a little anxious,” Baldwin said.
It wasn’t merely that Georgetown beat Butler 84-76 in a Big East opener Wednesday night, ending a nine-game home winning streak.
