When you’re not sure if a sweep of X is the highlight of the regular season, its been a pretty good regular season

When Butler beats that cowardly Maurice Brantley hitting, Hinkle water fountain destroying Xavier, it is a good day. Google it. #Xaviersucks

Can’t underestimate how big of a win that is at X. Cintas is super hostile atmosphere. But they still don’t have these? pic.twitter.com/bplz9ZBODD

Sweeping Nova is sweet. Sweeping Xavier…???? #Butler
