Butler downs Miami 90-68 to begin season
INDIANAPOLIS — After Dalonte Brown missed a three with 9:28 left in the first half, a Butler student yelled, “Sit down” to Miami’s standing bench.
That was the Bulldogs’ (1-0) message to the RedHawks (0-1) all night.
In the season-opener for both teams, Butler bullied Miami at the historic Hinkle Fieldhouse on Saturday night, winning 90-68.
“Well, obviously, the game just got out of hand,” MU head coach Jack Owens said. “They did a great job crashing the glass and grabbing second-chance opportunities.”
Butler out-rebounded Miami 38-22 and had 15 second-chance points to the RedHawks’ 10.
