Butler University Defeats Syracuse Basketball Team

The Butler University Bulldogs had defeated Syracuse basketball team in the NCAA Tournament with a score of 63-59.
The fifth-seeded Bulldogs knocked off top-seeded Syracuse, 63-59, in the West Region semifinals to reach the region final for the first time in school history.
“We can get rid of that, being a small school and surprising everybody,” Butler senior Willie Veasley said. “Seeing how much success we’ve had in the NCAA tournament, I think that’s fair to say it’s a thing of the past.”
The Bulldogs (31-4) take on the winner of Thursday night’s meeting between No. 2 Kansas State and No. 6 Xavier Saturday. After another surprising result in this tournament with Syracuse falling, the clear favorite has been removed from the West Region and a Final Four spot is up for grabs.
