The win was Butler’s second straight and eighth in the last nine outings. Junior Shelvin Mack, who had scored just nine points in Butler’s first two games last week, exploded with a career-high 28 points while senior Matt Howard scored 11 of 13 Butler points, including eight straight, midway through the second half.
