The Butler Bulldogs emerged victorious in a close one on Tuesday night.
The Bulldogs hung on to defeat the DePaul Blue Demons, 73-71. Chuck Harris went one-for-two on his final free throw attempts and Simas Lukosius pulled in an offensive rebound to secure the victory after Harris’ missed free throw.
Butler trailed by nine points with 8:22 to go in the second half. It seemed DePaul was going to barrel towards a much-needed win for themselves. However, things fell apart. A 6-0 run shrunk DePaul’s lead down to three. DePaul was able to answer, but BU responded with a 7-2 run to tie the game.
