There is a lot of reaction at butlerhoops.com
But most Butler fans saw this coming - or at least knew it was a possibility. It was kind of a perfect storm.
1.) Creighton is amazing at home
2.) $1 Beer night atmosphere (in addition to an already amazing atmosphere)
3.) Mo Watson is the embodiment of everything that cripples Butler's defense. A PG that can breakdown a defense leading to lay-ups or wide open 3's
4.) Kelan Martin is in the midst of a monster slump. And Chrabascz was double-teamed most the game. Tough to win with no contributions from Options #1 & 2
5.) Butler was 4-0 against Top 25 (including 3-0 against Top 10 teams). It was due to hit a speedbump
