New Year's Eve - Villanova at Butler 7:30pm ET FS1

Wow, crazy back and forth in this game.

Congrats to Nova. That was a fabulous game and you guys fought hard for the W, looking forward to playing you guys in Philly.

On another note, Butler had a great chance to win this game, but it just didn't happen. We definitely learned a lot from this game and I think it will benefit us in Big East play. Good luck to Marquette and Creighton in the next game.

If this is close at the end Villanova better watch out for the clock malfunction.

Yeah, but at least they have the class and won't rip out our waterfountain.

Nice final pay by the Butler coach. Go out and throw up a jumper.

Nice, entertaining game. At least the Pacers won today. They played the Cavs, and you can bet money Coach Brown was at Hinkle watching his son. Best game that Brown has played. Too bad, really, that Marshall and Dunham only got to play half the game due to fouls.

What a great game to watch!

Congrats to Nova. Came down to ball handling, Butler couldn't get the ball inside the arc at all. This is going to be a bloodbath this year. Better get your tiebreaker rules out now.

8. SHU
9. Prob
10. DePaul

Great Game! Disappointing loss, but a really enjoyable evening of basketball. I look forward to many future battles in the NBE. Announced attendance was in the 9400s. Good luck 'Nova until we travel to Philly (Pat's or Geno's?)
