DAVE'S POSTGAME ANALYSIS

The second half was a different story offensively for the Bulldogs, but the shooting woes of the Phoenix continued. UWGB got to within one at 22-21 with 17:59 to play, but that was as close as they would get for the remainder of the game. Butler reeled off eight straight points over the next three minutes and cruised to an easy win.

PLAYER OF THE GAME: Butler's defense. I know that's kind of lame, but the defense the Bulldogs played today was outstanding. One set from the first half really stands out in my mind. UWGB point guard Matt Rohde got a screen at the top of the key, and Duane Lightfoot, Jr. hedged and forced Rohde towards the Butler bench. Once Rohde's defender recovered, everyone on the strong side rotated perfectly, and Duane ran from in front of the bench all the way down to the weak side block just in time to tip an attempted entry pass out of bounds. That play epitomized Butler's team defense: every player knew his role and where he needed to be, and everyone was in position to prevent an easy basket.

Miller drained four three-pointers in the first half en route to a game-high 14 points. He also had three rebounds, three assists, and two steals. Joel Cornette had 12 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and three blocks. Lightfoot added 10 points and six rebounds off the bench. Archey finished with six points and a career-high seven rebounds. Avery Sheets and Mike Monserez finished with four points each. Lewis Curry added three points, and Andy Grunst hit a pair of free throws for two points. UWGB was led by Terry Parker's 12 points.

While Butler's offense struggled, the defense was constant throughout the game, and that made the difference. The 37 points by UWGB matched the season-low for points by an opponent--Butler also held Wayne State to 37 points in the home opener back in November.
