It’s amaizng to me that with 3OTs butler still only scored 68 points. Also - it looks like the top 10ish teams totally blowout their conference mates by 20ish a night. If we want to take that next step we have to start closing out games (we were up 14 on Purdue w 5 to go). Those big scores in wins matter in the seeding (shouldn’t but they do).
