Butler jumped out to a 26-13 lead and made six of its first eight 3-pointers. The Bulldogs shot 63 percent from the field and 60 percent from deep in the first half, taking a 46-34 lead into halftime.<\/p>\n
After contributing only two points in the opening 20 minutes, Seton Hall guard Myles Powell scored 19 second-half points and hit a three to tie the game at 68 with 42 seconds left.<\/p>\n
Paul Jorgensen gave Butler the lead back on the next possession thanks to a goaltending violation. Powell missed a three at the buzzer that would have won the game for the Pirates.<\/p>\n
