Meanwhile, Butler fought the good fight in their overtime matchup against UConn on Tuesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Huskies by a score of 80-78. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest loss the Bulldogs have suffered since November 8, 2024.

Despite their defeat, Butler saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Jahmyl Telfort, who earned 25 points in addition to two steals, was perhaps the best of all. The team also got some help courtesy of Andre Screen, who almost dropped a double-double on 13 points and nine rebounds.
