The men’s basketball team continued its strong start to the season with a high-scoring 112-80 win over IU Indy.

Garnering national attention early in the season for their unorthodox, run-and-gun style of offense paired with heavy on-ball pressure for 94 feet, the Jaguars were able to make some noise against the Bulldogs.

The Jags leaped out to a 6-0 lead over the Dawgs, quickly controlling the pace of the game.

However, as the first half progressed, Butler was able to flex its muscles by adapting to IU Indy’s fast-paced style rather than forcing the game to be played at a comfortable pace.
