INDIANAPOLIS – Outcomes like this make it hard to figure out the Butler Bulldogs.
Will they lose in the first round of the NCAA tournament to a double-digit seed? Make a run to the Final Four?
A case could be made for either.
Senior day was deflating for the 15th-ranked Bulldogs, who blew a late 10-point lead and lost to Seton Hall 70-64 on Saturday before a Hinkle Fieldhouse sellout of 9,100 and a Fox national TV audience.
The Pirates were desperate to secure an NCAA at-large berth, and they played like it. The heretofore hot Bulldogs played like they forgot how they won four in a row.
