You know it’s Butler Week when Creighton head coach Greg McDermott starts throwing the “t” word around. With the exception of an 88-60 blowout win for the Bluejays in Omaha in 2014, three of the four meetings between Creighton and Butler have come down to the wire. One of those game went in favor of the Bluejays, the other two went to the Bulldogs, but in all three the difference was always Toughness.
That was once again the case on Saturday night as Creighton defeated No. 18 Butler, 72-64, in front of 17,677 fans at the CenturyLink Center.
