Butler takes 3-0 record to Bahamas David Woods, david.woods@indystar.com
INDIANAPOLIS – Kermit Davis was being magnanimous. The last time he opposed the Butler Bulldogs, he said, was in the 2017 NCAA basketball tournament when Davis coached Middle Tennessee State.
If not for drawing national champion North Carolina in the Sweet 16, he said, “That could have been a Final Four team.” And 2019 Butler looked a lot like that, Davis added.
This Butler team is not that. Not in a bracketologist’s dreams.
But on a night when the Bulldogs were overtaken late and Kamar Baldwin could not shoot the ball or hold onto it, they showed something that could carry over into a Big East that is up for grabs.
