INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Matt Howard has made the buzzer-beating baskets and the last-second free throws for Butler.
Shelvin Mack took care of everything else during the Bulldogs’ latest NCAA tournament run.
Long before Howard and Mack were gaining national attention and leading Butler back to the Final Four, they were the stabilizing forces behind the Bulldogs’ turnaround.
After losing four of five games in early February, the two-man tandem reasserted themselves on the court and in the locker room. The result: A 13-game winning streak that gave them regular-season and conference tourney titles, four more NCAA tourney wins and a second straight trip to the Final Four.
