CHICAGO – How is the air up there in the top five? For Butler, it was noxious.
Paul Reed scored 23 points, and DePaul shot 10-of-17 on 3-pointers in beating the fifth-ranked Bulldogs 79-66 Saturday in Big East basketball at Wintrust Arena.
The outcome ended two long Butler streaks: 11 straight over DePaul and 19 straight in games played in the Chicago area.
It was a deflating week for the Bulldogs (15-3, 3-2) after ascending to their highest in-season ranking ever. They lost at home to No.
