INDIANAPOLIS -- More to come later, but a quick, postgame analysis from Butler 70, Siena 53:
- It's official: The Saints must win the MAAC tournament title to play in the NCAA tournament.
- Impressive job by Butler winning without injured double-digit scorer and jack-of-all-trades Willie Veasley, and with minimal contribution from No. 3 scorer Matt Howard due to fouls. Gordon Hayward's versatility is very impressive.
- Siena point guard Ronald Moore came in leading the nation in assists but had a miserable day offensively. He scored just one point, whiffing from the field (0-for-9). Star Edwin Ubiles wasn't much better, going 2-of-11 for four points.
