The final victory gave Butler a fourth place tournament finish and 26 wins for the year, matching the Butler single season record set in 1982 and tied in 2007.

Butler, picked seventh in the preseason poll of league coaches, rebounded from a 6-16 start and wound up finishing fifth in the league regular season race.
