INDIANAPOLIS — Did the Butler Bulldogs need this one?
Darn right, they did.
“This would be a long week if we had lost this one, I can tell you that much,” point guard Tyler Lewis said.
Lewis resembled a relief pitcher after the batting order supplied the necessary runs, saving a 75-65 victory over No. 23 Cincinnati on Saturday. And by batting order, that means everyone from Kelan Martin, the Big East’s top returning scorer, to Cincinnati native Nate Fowler, who never used to leave Butler’s bench during crunch time.
