Butler staggered sleepily onto the court Wednesday night and conceded an eight-point lead to Dayton before three minutes of game time had passed. Shortly thereafter, Butler went on an 8-0 run to even the score, making the slow start seem like a random occurrence; unfortunately, that run was the last one the Bulldogs had in them. With a terrible offensive performance and a pedestrian defensive effort, Butler eventually fell 69-64.
Butler had an impossible time scoring throughout the entire game. Dayton got off to a hot start, but the Flyers’ offense slowed down considerably after the first six minutes or so.
