INDIANAPOLIS – How historic was Butler’s 20-point comeback to beat DePaul?
Data suggest it wasn't. In fact, Butler was in more peril in five other victories in this college basketball season.
The 11th-ranked Bulldogs will try not to be so fragile when they resume Big East road life Wednesday night against Seton Hall at Newark, N.J.
Beating Butler (17-3, 6-2) would enhance the Pirates’ NCAA tournament chances. Seton Hall (13-6, 3-4) has won 10 in a row at the Prudential Center, a streak dating to last year’s 81-75 loss to Butler. That outcome was a highlight of the Bulldogs’ late-season push to the NCAA tournament.
