The No. 13 Butler Bulldogs continue to roll right along with a 73-55 victory over Illinois-Chicago.
The victory gives the Bulldogs a school-record 16th straight win and keeps them undefeated in the Horizon League.
The Horizon League is definitely a little bit down this year, but Butler really has a good basketball team.
Matt Howard led the Bulldogs with 17 points while Ronald Nored added a career-high 16 points.
Butler plays in the BracketBuster this weekend against Siena, which will provide a significant challenge.

The No. 15 Butler Bulldogs continued their rampage through the Horizon League with a 62-47 victory over Loyola, Chicago.
The Bulldogs are now 14-0 in league play and well on their way to clinching the regular season championship.
Of course, most teams that win the regular season championship in the Horizon League still got into the league tournament knowing they must win it to reach the Big Dance.
Things are different this year, as Butler will certainly earn an at-large berth even if they can’t win the Horizon League tournament. Butler is now 21-4 on the season and has won 13 consecutive games.
Matt Howard led the team with 20 points and was 12-14 at the free thrown line. Willie Veasley added 12 while Gordon Hayward had 8.
