After a sloppy first half, Butler picked it up and pulled away from St. John's in the second half to pick up their second BIG EAST win this season.
It was a strong second half performance for an emotional Butler Bulldogs team as they beat the St. John's Red Storm 78-58 at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
The game started out very sloppy, as both teams had a mere four points and a couple of turnovers at the under-16 timeout. Both teams had under ten points at the under-12 timeout, and it looked like we were in for a grind it out type of game at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
