The Butler University women’s basketball were in a similar situation on Feb. 24. Enthralled in a close game with another Big East foe, this time Providence College, but ultimately Butler fell to Providence 64-58.
After clinging to a 31-28 lead at halftime and being tied after three quarters, the Bulldogs were not able to stop several of the Friars’ stars.
Butler began the game confidently, shooting over 50 percent from the floor in the first quarter.
