Indiana 55 at Butler 60

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - A.J. Graves scored 20 points, including a banked 3-pointer with 5 seconds left, to help Butler rally from a 12-point second half deficit and advance in the NIT Season Tip-Off with a 60-55 victory over Indiana Tuesday night.

A heck of a game from Butler, being down by 12 and their best player on the bench with 4 fouls. Graves was cold as a creek rock and things looked dim to say the least. Then IU went cold and also started to foul. Butler then made one of the most hard fought comebacks I've seen in a long time. I still enjoy seeing IU lose even though Knight is gone. I think I will enjoy watching Sampson lose almost as much.

I saw most of the game and was impressed by Butler's tenacity! As I said when it happened and I will say today the Sampson hire was at least to me strange!

Sampson may seem a strange hire but some of the diehards at work like some of the similarities Sampson has to Knight and are ready to back him. I'm sure being beat by Butler didn't warm their hearts up to him, but they seem to admire anytime an ISU, Butler or other small Indiana school upsets them.

More power to them i suppose. I know if Kelvin Samson was hired as our next coach, I wouldnt be jumping up and down!
