[MU/Panther]

Kellen Dunham scored 16 points to help No. 22 Butler beat Temple 74-69

[CaribouJim]

Butler has had a version of Kellen Dunham seemingly every year for the last 10 years and I mean that as a complement. Steady Eddy that can shoot. Something MU is in dire need of this year.

And good news for all as G'town takes care of Wisconsin

[Markedman]

Xavier looking good. Leading at half 45-36.

[MU/Panther]

Xavier up 66-59, 8:41 left on BTN

[MU/Panther]

Finals
South Carolina 76 DePaul 61

Villanova 85 ETSU 51

Xavier playing with incredible energy and enthusiasm. Reynolds and Farr are just manhandling Michigan.

Xavier looking fantastic.

[IrwinFletcher]

3 really nice wins for the conference - Butler, Xavier and Georgetown.

I think these 3 and Villanova could all be 6 seeds or better come March.

[Markedman]

They are just destroying them on the. Boards.....

[DCwarrior]

Looks like Mu and DePaul will be bringing up the rear for the 2nd year in a row.

Long ways to go for our program to meet the level of Nova, Butler, X, and Georgetown, and St. John's has a lot of talent in the pipeline. And with our financial commitment and resources, fifth-sixth place in the conference at best is flat out not good enough.

Coming off 2013, winning the Big East and Elite 8, I was concerned with the other BE teams keeping up with MU'S level of success. Need to turn it around soon.
