opening half.
However, Woody Payne hit a three to finish off an 8-0 run that put Detroit
ahead 16-15 near the midway point. Both teams exchanged the lead for the next
several minutes and with things tied at 24-all with just under a minute
remaining, the Bulldogs scored six of the final eight points to close the
half. Avery Jukes beat the buzzer with a layup to put Butler in front
30-26 heading into the locker room.
In the second half, Shawn Vanzant's trey gave the Bulldogs a 41-35 edge with
about 13 minutes to play, but Simon answered from beyond the arc a short time
later to make it a one-point game, 41-40.
Things stayed close for the duration of the contest, but Butler never
relinquished the lead. Nored's two free throws coupled with a layup put Butler
up 57-50 with 2:58 remaining and the Bulldogs would hold on down the stretch.
