Butler’s Bulldogs won’t celebrate if they make college basketball’s Top 25 (as they should on Monday). It would be gratifying to make the Sweet 16 (which they haven’t done since 2011).
“We’re still learning what this team can be, and is,” coach Chris Holtmann said.
Here is what we learned late Friday night: Butler might be better than nearly everyone thought.
The Bulldogs went on a 10-0 run in the final two minutes after losing a nine-point lead, surging to a 69-65 victory over ninth-ranked Arizona for the championship of the Continental Tire Las Vegas Invitational.
