The Butler University men’s basketball team won the Continental Tire Las Vegas Invitational on Nov. 25 after beating the No. 8 Arizona Wildcats by a score of 69-65 in Orleans Arena.

Late game momentum is a hard thing to reverse, but that is exactly what the Bulldogs had to do in order to beat the Wildcats.

From 8:51 to 2:18 in the second half, Arizona put together a 15-2 run in order to lead 61-57.
