The No. 13 Butler University men’s basketball team needed every second of overtime to beat the DePaul Blue Demons 70-69 on Jan. 21 in Rosemont, Ill. at Allstate Arena.

The Bulldogs (17-3, 6-2 Big East) trailed 66-65 with 44 seconds left in overtime. Enter Kamar Baldwin and Billy Garrett.

Baldwin crossed over his defender at the top of the arc and drilled a step back three point jumper to give Butler a two point lead.
