Behind a defensive effort that held the Golden Eagles to less than 30-percent shooting in the second half, the Bulldogs were able to bring that losing streak to an end Wednesday evening with a 69-62 victory.
UConn, the number four ranked team in the nation, was given all they could handle from an ever-improving Butler squad Friday night inside a packed Hinkle Fieldhouse. In the end hot shooting in the second half would be the difference for the Huskies as they upended the Bulldogs 88-81.
