The No. 4 Butler University men’s basketball team found the exit on the road to Phoenix against No. 1 University of North Carolina March 24. Butler’s fans were obviously disappointed in the loss and sent much sympathy to the graduating seniors. Nonetheless, fans are still optimistic about what’s to come.

What a @ButlerMBB career. #WTHR pic.twitter.com/l4hiXU0vvD

I’m disappointed in the outcome of the game, but certainly not upset with a #Sweet16 season. Proud of @ButlerMBB & all they’ve accomplished.

It is still a great day to be a Bulldog.

Win some, lose some. Bulldogs ever do or die. #GoDawgs see y’all at Hinkle in October! @ButlerMBB

To Chrabs. 140? I can’t even. You stuck around when it got rough and grew into one of the greatest. The Butler Way was lucky to have you.

— Shooter Flatch (@HinkleHangover) March 25, 2017

I love the Dawgs so much. Made this portion of my life so much fun. Won’t ever forget the last 4 years. #GoDawgs

Preseason 6th in the Big East

Beat #1 ranked team in the country

Swept X

Try to convince me this wasn’t a successful season

— Ari Kasle (@AKasle_BU) March 25, 2017

Seeing the guys cry is 100% the worst part of any game hands down

— kiersten white (@kierstenwhitee) March 25, 2017

Will always be proud to be a Butler Bulldog. This year was labeled a “rebuilding year” and the Dawgs went to the sweet 16 #Dawgs @ButlerMBB

— Seth Wells (@seth_wells22) March 25, 2017

That loss was tough. Saying goodbye to those seniors is tougher. Still proud. Thanks for a great season, @ButlerMBB #GoDawgs

Quite the season, @ButlerMBB. Way more than most expected. Thanks for the run.

— Colin Likas (@clikasNG) March 25, 2017

Seeing chrabs cry is about enough, that kid is everything

— Victory Firelight (@ButlerVictory) March 25, 2017

Butler ran into a buzzsaw.

It happens.

— Big East Coast Bias (@becb_sbn) March 25, 2017

I really thought Butler had a chance tonight, but the UNC board work the difference. @ButlerMBB should be proud. So should Coach Holtmann.

— Tim Brando (@TimBrando) March 25, 2017

Standing ovation from Butler fans as INCREDIBLE senior class check out #Butler pic.twitter.com/l326JYAorF

That hurt. But the Dawgs will be back, you can count on that.

— Jenna Kendrick (@jennaaakendrick) March 25, 2017

Safe to say most people didn’t have Butler in the Sweet 16 at the start of the year. What a tremendous season for the Bulldogs.

— Austin Monteith (@amonteith92) March 25, 2017

Awww, good run Dawgs! Hate to see them cry. ☹️

— Janette Derucki (@jderucki) March 25, 2017

Chrabs I love you, what a hell of a career

— Victory Firelight (@ButlerVictory) March 25, 2017

Dawgs til I die. Thanks for everything Chrabs, T-Lew, Avery, Kethan, Steve, and Trey. It’s coming one of these days I know it ?

— Ovid Butler (@Section_29) March 25, 2017

Butler had 17 Top 100 wins, finished 2nd in Big East, and went 4-1 vs. Nova/Xavier (two teams that have owned them). This season was a win.
