The No. 18 Butler University men’s basketball team lost 62-57 to the Xavier Musketeers on March 9 in Madison Square Garden in New York, N.Y.
The game was knotted at 57-57 with 39 seconds left. Xavier’s Trevon Bluiett then hit a fadeaway elbow jumper over two defenders with 17 seconds left.
Kamar Baldwin and Tyler Lewis both had decent jump shot looks in their next possession, but they failed to find the bottom of the net.
