Butler used some stiff defense in the first half, survived a furious comeback, then put away the Milwaukee Panthers for good 59-44 to earn the Horizon League's automatic bid into the NCAA field of 68. Butler held the Panthers to 4-19 from the field in the first half, Matt Howard of the Bulldogs was 4-5 from the field in the first half by himself. Anthony Hill was held relatively silent scoring only 10 points and grabbing 8 rebounds.
Butler will most likely be seeded between 11-13 in the NCAA tournament, while Milwaukee will be heading to the NIT and learn their seed Sunday evening. Other Horizon League teams awaiting to learn their fate Sunday evening include Cleveland State (possibly an at large, most likely an NIT) and Valparaiso (NIT).
