Working on just one day of rest after an ugly triumph over Northwestern, the men’s basketball team put on a clinic against NJIT in a 101-52 drubbing of the Highlanders.

As soon as the tip-off landed in Butler’s possession, the rout immediately began with a 17-0 run propelled by a 58% clip from the field.

“I wasn’t pleased with the way we started the game [against Northwestern] on Saturday,” head coach Thad Matta said.
