INDIANAPOLIS – The steam Xavier had built up over the last week and a half with three straight wins ran into a Butler buzz saw Wednesday night in front of a sold-out crowd at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
In a game where Xavier needed all its pieces on the same page, connected and together as they had been, the Musketeers looked scattered and, at times, unsure, which left them on the wrong side of a 66-61 game.
