Butler’s Shelvin Mack gets a point! One!
The Bulldogs are going point by point now, and Andrew Smith ties the score at 13 by making one of two free throws.
Charles Okwandu puts Connecticut up, 15-13, but Butler’s Chase Stigall gets inspired to make a three and with seven minutes left in first half Butler up 16-15.
If we were going by (Ralph) Lawler’s Law in this game, first team to 100 wins, we would be looking for a winner in about 2012.
A jump shot! By Kemba Walker, of course, puts UConn ahead, 17-16, and this time Stigall can’t reply. Well, he tries, but it makes a clanging sound. Donnell Beverly makes it 19-16 UConn, and that feels like a streak, especially when Butler’s Matt Howard misses another layup.
