Butler pulled off a remarkable 91-89 win in double overtime, and in doing so sent many fans through a glass case of emotions. From thinking this was going to be an embarrassing 20+ point loss, to thinking there was a chance, to heart failure, overtime and double overtime, fans felt it all.
Dawgs are No. 1

Try not liking the Bulldogs. I dare you.
#Butler basketball is so weird but I love every second of it. It’s damn near impossible not to like this team.

Start scheduling your doctor appointments along with Butler basketball.
Ask your doctor if your heart is strong enough for Butler Basketball…
And LET’S GO!
Georgetown 69, Butler 66. 3:39 to play.

Might be harder than you think.
Dear Butler I would like to watch one of you basketball games that doesn’t make me panic. Is that so hard?
— Kevin Labotka (@klabotka1) December 28, 2017
Better or worse than a heart attack?
THAT POINT INITIATED AN OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE
— Jolly Hippie? (@hi_im_dong) December 28, 2017
Dawgs will do that from time to time.
Butler Basketball has aged me terribly
— Fake Brad Stevens (@FakeBradStevens) December 28, 2017
Disclamer: Dawgs may take 20 years off your life.
That game took 20 years off my life, but ya know what… it was worth it #DAWGS #DAWGS #DAWGS
— Dawg-Stool (@BarstoolDawgs) December 28, 2017
Hey this guy only lost 3 weeks.
Give @LaVall_Jordan and @ButlerMBB the credit. Cost me 3 weeks off my life, but they got it done.
— Todd Bolster (@tbolster) December 28, 2017
So we’re up to heart attacks, out of body experiences, horrible aging, panic attacks and headaches. Got it ✏️?

lol at Xavier.
The best part of going to overtime is making all the Xavier fans wait an extra 15 minutes to watch their team play next
— Fake Brad Stevens (@FakeBradStevens) December 28, 2017
You could say it was exciting.
What a way to start off Big East play! #grittynotpretty

LOUDER!
DAWGS! @ButlerMBB

Butler.
Triple OT on opening night? Who says no?
— John Fanta (@John_Fanta) December 28, 2017
Not sure why anyone would.
Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, doubt the ‘Dawgs.
