18% Shooting Dooms Bulldogs Championship Dreams
After taking a lead at the end of the first half the Butler Bulldogs never got their shooting on track setting an NCAA final record for low shooting percentage and only shot 16% in the 2nd half. The Butler defense did its job holding UConn in the 50’s as their goal was. Butler was 6 shots away from victory but just could not find the range. It was a proud moment for Indiana and for small schools all across the country. Butler gave schools like UE hope and we hope that they capitalize on it and follow Butler into the final four in the future.
