Cleveland State vs. Butler

Feb. 8, 2007

 

J'Nathan Bullock

• It was his team-leading 18th double-figure scoring game of the year

 

Bahaadar Russell

• Scored in double figures for the seventh time in eight starts this year, finishing with 12 points.

• Went 2-for-4 from three-point, giving him 23 treys over his last eight games.

 

Victor Morris

• Recorded his second straight double-figure scoring night, totaling 10 points.

• It came on the heels of a 16-point game vs. UW-Green Bay last week, his only other double-figure effort since returning from foot surgery seven games ago.

 

Miscellaneous

• The win gives Butler a 21-5 lead in the all-time series with CSU, including an 8-4 mark in games played in the Wolstein Center.

• Butler opened the game by making 12 of its 19 three-point field goal attempts in the first half.

• CSU trailed, 45-25 at the intermission.  The Vikings are now 0-10 this season when trailing at halftime.

• Butler set a Horizon League record by making 20 three-pointers.  It surpassed the old mark of 18 accomplished three times (most recently by Butler vs. Detroit on 2/25/06).

• The 20 treys also set a Wolstein Center record, surpassing the previous mark of 12, which was accomplished nine times, most recently by UW-Milwaukee vs. Alabama in an NCAA Championship first round game on March 17, 2005.

• Butler's 20 treys also set a record for most three-pointers by a CSU opponent.  Malone held the old mark with 15 on 12/9/89
