The No. 18 Butler University men’s basketball team handed the No. 1 Villanova Wildcats their first loss of the season after winning 66-58 in a sold out Hinkle Fieldhouse on Jan. 4.

With five minutes left in the game, both teams were tied at 47. From there, Kethan Savage, Avery Woodson and Kelan Martin finished close range shots before Kamar Baldwin stole the ball from Josh Hart near half court and banked in a reverse layup to put the Bulldogs in position to ice the game with free throws.
