Butler Bulldogs
Butler did it again. The Bulldogs knocked off Villanova for the third time in the last two seasons. They’ve pulled upsets when the ‘Cats were twice the No. 1 team in the nation and another time when they were No. 2.

Butler shot 15-of-22 from three-point land in the 101–93 upset. Villanova went off itself but the three-point shooting made the difference, ‘Nova shooting just 12-for-35.
The Bulldogs are now just one of three teams in the conference without a loss after the first week. Seton Hall and its opponent on Tuesday, Xavier, are the two others. Butler is actually a bigger underdog in this game then it was against No. 1 Villanova over the weekend.
Xavier Musketeers
Xavier beat Marquette by four in Milwaukee in its Big East opener and then just managed to take care of DePaul in its first home game of the conference season. The Musketeers came back from down 16 in the second half in that win over DePaul.
So two narrow wins might not make the X men look like a Big East favorite but two wins are two wins and with Villanova’s loss, Xavier may have just taken the inside track to the regular season conference championship. Of course, a lot of basketball is left to be played.
