Butler 81, Loyola of Chicago 74, OT
INDIANAPOLIS -- Timely free throw shooting, none of it by Darnell Archey, lifted Butler to victory over Loyola of Chicago in overtime.
Archey, who has hit a current NCAA-record 76 consecutive foul shots, did not get to the line against the Ramblers. But the Bulldogs made eight straight free throws in the extra period -- four by Mike Monserez and two each by Brand Miller and Avery Sheets -- to hold off Loyola in the final minutes.
Butler (12-1, 2-0 Horizon League) led by 24 points late in the first half and by 16 with seven minutes left in regulation before the late rally by Loyola (6-10, 2-2).
Corey Minnifield, who led the Ramblers with 28 points, hit three 3-pointers during a 17-1 run and tied the game at 67 with two free throws with eight seconds remaining.
