The Butler Bulldogs are having a pretty average season. They’re 13-12 and 7-6 in the Horizon League after suffering a painful 65-61 loss to Detroit today. No one is likely in more pain than guard Ronald Nored, though.
That’s because Nored, who normally looks like the dude you see above, now looks like the dude you see below. That’s right. He cracked his front tooth...

What happened to Butler?

But Butler, despite losing its top two possessors from last season's second...

What A Joke: Butler Played The Worst Championship Game EVER
The only thing uglier than bulldogs was Butler’s performance against UConn in the NCAA National Championship game. I picked UConn to win, but who could have predicted that the Butler Bulldogs would play so bad? That game was horrible. Butler fans have to be embarrassed and heartbroken beyond belief.
