It's been nearly two weeks since Butler faced an opponent on their home floor. The Bulldogs kicked off a stretch of three home games inside Hinke Fieldhouse by making up a four-point deficit late in the game to defeat Providence 75-72.
Butler had lost five of their last six games coming into their match-up with DePaul on Saturday. The rough patch was certainly not for lack of effort on the Dawgs' part. Nevertheless, Butler needed a win, and they found it in a 74-60 victory over the DePaul Blue Demons.
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.
