The Butler men’s basketball team barely beat Portland State in their second game of the PK80 Invitational in Portland, Oregon. But it wasn’t easy. And Bulldog fans on Twitter were a ball of emotions, from stressed and worried to relieved.
Bounce back indeed.

Nah. You don’t think…
FINAL: Butler hangs on to defeat Portland State, 71-69. They’ll play the winner of Stanford and Ohio State.
Surely Bulldog fans don’t have a preference…
