INDIANAPOLIS – If there was one sentence encapsulating what this meant to the Butler Bulldogs, it belonged to coach LaVall Jordan:
“In terms of how we play, it was closer today.”
It might be tempting to dismiss Butler’s 82-65 victory over Furman as an inevitable Saturday outcome of a small program’s visit to a Power Six campus. Don’t.
All a coach, and a fan base, can ask of a team is to apply lessons learned and try to improve.
