And just overall, Butler played a much smarter game to win tonight. They showed terrific composure when it seemed Syracuse was going to take over the game after getting the lead for the first time at 51-50, with Andy Rautins making it then 54-50 after his three.

It was great team effort by the Horizon League champions, as the three stars of Mack, Haywood, and Howard were facilitated by terrific bench play at key teams.

The full box score is here.
