Butler basketball is rolling!

In today’s episode, I break down Butler’s impressive win over Virginia to claim the Greenbrier Tip-Off Championship. The Dawgs played some of their best two-way basketball of the season — locked-in defense, efficient offense, and composure down the stretch against a tough Cavaliers squad.

I’ll cover:

• How Butler controlled the pace and dictated the game

• Key players who stepped up on both ends of the floor

• The defensive intensity that frustrated Virginia all night

• Big scoring runs, clutch moments, and what ultimately sealed the championship

• What this win means for Butler moving forward

Tap in for full analysis, breakdowns, and what to watch for next from this Butler team.
