INDIANAPOLIS – You could win a trivia contest by correctly answering this question:
Who was the last coach to beat Butler before the Bulldogs lost to Duke in college basketball’s 2010 national championship game?
Answer: Mike Davis.
Yes, that Mike Davis. The former Indiana University coach was at UAB then, and his Blazers beat the Bulldogs 67-57 at Birmingham on Dec. 22, 2009. Afterward, he said:
“They may not lose another game this year.”
Davis was prescient. Butler won its next 25 in a row.
