INDIANAPOLIS — The buzzer sounded and the floor at Hinkle Fieldhouse disappeared, swallowed up by hundreds of Butler fans. They’d been asked not to do this — they’d been told not to do this — but if Butler was serious about keeping fans off its floor, then Butler shouldn’t have beaten the No. 1 team in the country Wednesday night.
No. 18 Butler stunned No. 1 Villanova 66-58, so here they came. They came from the Dawg Pound and the lower bowl and the arena’s upper reaches.
