Ok, sure it wasn’t the score Butler fans were hoping for. Butler and Xavier are rivals, and nobody forgets that. Because of that, Bulldogs had fun on social media tonight roasting the No. 5 team in the country, and more specifically JP Macura.

Legen… wait for it…dary.

As they say… X marks the spot. #BigDawgsTour pic.twitter.com/Rkw9liwTYn

Oh.

If Logan Paul was a college basketball team, he’d be Xavier.

You right.

Yeah we lost to Xavier but at least our two best players don’t have mugshots #GoDawgs pic.twitter.com/How6INJyZO

Who agrees?

JP Macura has the most punchable face in the NCAA

Tell us how you really feel.

I can’t stand JP Macura

Whoah

Since Chris Mack took over Xavier in 2009, they’ve won 10 NCAA tournament games. They’ve also suspended 10 players (two suspended twice) and had 4 arrested. Quality program if you ask me. #Dawgs #BeatX #BIGEASThoops

Oh we remember that.

Obviously it’s a Xavier fan.

If you are looking for the world’s most annoying human being, he’s about four feet behind me and four beers in at this Butler-Xavier game.

2am in Athens , Butler – Xavier! #TunedIn

There’s a silver lining everywhere.

Never like losing to X, but I’ll happily take a 2-1 start in the Big East; especially with the schedule Butler has had so far.

If Matt believes it, it must be true.

For not making any 3s and getting to the line 20 less times, a pretty impressive effort to have a fighting chance down the stretch. https://t.co/2e9SAeMHbF

Gritty not pretty, that’s the motto.

Look at the stat line, 10 more fouls and almost 30 fewer free throws than Xavier but Butler still made it a game #grittynotpretty

— Dawg-Stool (@BarstoolDawgs) January 3, 2018

Player mugshots: 2, Final Fours: 0

Xavier: where the players are more likely to be arrested than make a Final Four.
