Leads Baylor to Big 12 title Butler dropped a team-high 25 points (10-21 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six assists, three rebounds, and a block in the win over West Virginia on Tuesday.

Impact What a bounce back game it was for Baylor's leader after a five point showing last time out against Kansas when the team suffered their first loss of the season. This game was back and forth, but it was a game-tying layup with two seconds left over Derek Culver that sent the game to overtime, where Baylor was able to outlast the Mountaineers and clinch the team's first conference title since 1950. Baylor will be right back at it on Thursday against Oklahoma State. Butler had 22 points and six assists in the first matchup this season.

18 points keeps Baylor unbeaten Butler had 18 points (5-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-8 FT), three rebounds, three steals and two assists across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 77-72 victory over Iowa State.

Impact Butler and the Bears had a bit of rust to shake off after nearly a three-week break due to COVID-19 protocol, but the team was ultimately able to erase a five-point first-half deficit and remain undefeated on the year. This will ultimately serve as a tune-up game for Scott Drew and co., as next up on the schedule is West Virginia, followed by road matchups against Kansas and West Virginia (again).

Shines as Bears topple Kansas Butler had 30 points (10-14 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and eight assists across 34 minutes in Monday's 77-69 victory over Kansas.

Impact Butler was without a doubt the best player on the floor Monday night despite Kansas having a couple of higher-rated NBA prospects. The junior had been a bit hit-or-miss in the scoring department over his last four games, but he matched the second-best scoring total of his career in this contest while bringing his season-long average to a team-high and career-best 16.7 ppg. Baylor is now 6-0 in SEC play and a perfect 13-0 in the 2020-21 season.
