The final score seemed close, but the Butler Bulldogs destroyed the Wisconsin Badgers. The eighth-seeded Bulldogs (26-9) have taken down a Big East power and Big Ten bruisers, proving again they can play with anyone, especially in March. Another sure thing about these Horizon League champs: They won’t have to duke it out with Duke in this year’s tournament.

While the Bulldogs shot 50 percent (12 of 24) in the opening 20 minutes, their defense was equally impressive. Wisconsin came in averaging only 7.5 turnovers per game, but had eight in the first half. Taylor, who entered the game with the nation’s best assist-to-turnover ratio at 4.18, had one assist and two turnovers to that point.

Shelvin Mack scored 13 points and Shawn Vanzant 10 for Butler, which next meets second-seeded Florida (29-7) on Saturday for a trip to what would be the Bulldogs’ second straight Final Four. The Florida Gators advanced by taking down Jimmer Fredette and the BYU Cougars in overtime.

The Bulldogs are 22-6 ATS in their last 28 neutral site games as an underdog, 6-5 ATS in their last 21 NCAA Tournament games, and 20-5-2 ATS in their last 27 games against a team with a winning record. The Butler Bulldogs play impressive defense ad they believe that they can advance to the Final Four.

Bulldogs take a bite out of the gators and advance to the Final Four.
