The No. 11 Butler University men’s basketball team fell to the visiting Georgetown Hoyas 85-81 on Jan. 28 in front of a sold out crowd in Hinkle Fieldhouse.
Poor defense caused the Bulldogs (18-4, 7-3 Big East) to lose just their third Big East contest of the year. The defensive struggles showed in the second half as the Hoyas went 16-of-22 (73 percent) from the field and 6-of-10 (60 percent) from three point range.
