Butler basketball: Simas Lukosius' 3-pointer in the closing seconds makes the difference

Closing seconds. Broken down play. Heave it to beat the shot clock.

Butler couldn't have drawn it up any better.

Simas Lukosius finished off a great performance with a 3-point heave with 5.5 seconds remaining to give the Bulldogs at 73-71 victory over DePaul.

The freshman scored 10 of his team-leading 19 points in the closing 3+ minutes and had 3 of Butler's 5 made 3-pointers. He also secured an offensive rebound off a missed free throw to clinch the outcome.
