The Butler University men’s basketball team lost a close game to fierce rival Xavier University Thursday night. The loss means Butler has still never won a Big East Tournament game, and Bulldog fans everywhere were less than pleased.
Hurtin right now…

Well #Butler lasted as long in the #BigEastTournament as Bogut did in CLE… pic.twitter.com/lnPVpmpXfg

Well that loss stings a bit. May that pain motivate our preparation and play next week. #GoDawgs

At least I didn’t go to MSG for that this year…

Just one time I’d like to enjoy this weekend.

Let’s grind one out here.
Butler has won games in the 60s and games in the 80s this season. Time to add to that.

I won’t retweet all of them, but judging from my Twitter timeline, #Butler fans are searching for a bridge from which they can jump off.

Dawgs will be fine. Woodson, Kamar gave us squat tonight, have a week to get back on track. There’s a lot of hungry dudes ready for NCAA.

If someone hasn’t played the whole game what gives someone the idea that they should be put in as part of the last play of the game?

That sucked

#Butler inconsistency offensively, especially late in games as of late, is a big red flag come next week.

Tyler Lewis better play better or it’s 1 and done.

Everyone was not on the same page in that game ?

Never liked the big east tournament anyway

@ButlerMBB didn’t want to be in NYC. Couldn’t finish. Sad!
— Nick Hanlon (@nhanlon12) March 10, 2017
Wow. #Xavier* ends #Butler‘s run in the Big East Tourney, winning 62-57…Catch highlights tonight.
— JoJo Gentry (@JGentry44News) March 10, 2017
#Butler fans hated Blueitt for picking Xavier over the Bulldogs. He sticks it to them big tonight.
— Matthew VanTryon (@MVanTryon) March 10, 2017
I know Butler is in but I thought they really needed to win at least 1 game in this tourney
— BTDew (@btdew) March 10, 2017
Heartbreaker @ButlerMBB but you played hard & excellent D! Here we come #MarchMadness
— Anne Flaherty (@AnneGFlaherty) March 10, 2017
Not the way you wanna go into the tournament if you’re Butler
— SirDrewski-Zamperini (@deerewnix) March 10, 2017
Holtmann was really bad in last minute and WTF was that last lineup? #butler
— Jeff Showalter (@JeffShowalter) March 10, 2017
Hard to beat the same team three times in one season. Onward and upward, make a run where it matters most. #GoDawgs #Butler
— Aaron Hurt (@aaronmhurt) March 10, 2017
UNBELIEVABLE ?

The #Butler didn’t do it tonight

Xavier still sucks.
