The No. 12 Butler University men’s basketball team bounced back from their loss against the No. 8 Creighton Bluejays with a tightly contested 83-78 win over the No. 15 Xavier Musketeers in front of a sold out crowd at Hinkle Fieldhouse on Jan. 14.

After scoring just 25 points as a team in the first half, the Bulldogs put together a 58 point second half to seal the win.
