Indy--it was almost worth all of those close losses this year to beat that team. Thrilling win to say the least. Crowd wasn't really into it until late--I think most of them came to see Butler and were disappointed they didn't blow us out and wow the crowd. Onr thing you can say about this team--they do have alot of heart.

Disappointing 4 or 5 more of those close games could not have gone our way, but extremely happy watching this game on the laptop.

First half YSU had 1 turnover.  Halfway through second half it was only up to 4 turnovers.  That can make up for being out rebounded.  Seemed like Butler always had 4 guys around basket for rebounds while YSU seemed to be falling back .  D.E. played a superstar game.  Also the team was not as selfish.  Lot of driving to attract double team then dishing off to open man.  Played very strong defense.
