Saturday Roundup

Da'Sean Butler responded to one of his worst performances as a collegian (2-12, 4 points vs. Pitt) with his best, scoring a career-high 43 points as West Virginia knocked off Villanova 93-72 at home. It is a huge win for the Mountaineers, who improved to 6-6 in the league while knocking off a team in the top half of the standings for the first time all season. If they can avoid a collapse down the stretch, the 'Neers look like a pretty good fit to get an NCAA tournament berth.

In the only other game of significance last night, Butler beat Illinois-Chicago 80-61 on the strength of 19 and 8 from Matt Howard.
