Jan 25, 2015 - 11:25 PM Indianapolis, IN (SportsNetwork.com) - Andrew Chrabascz scored 16 points to lead Butler in a 77-57 victory over No. 24 Seton Hall on Sunday.

Kellen Dunham had 15 points, Roosevelt Jones added 12 points and seven rebounds and Alex Barlow had 11 points, six rebounds and eight assists for the Bulldogs (15-6, 5-3 Big East), who have won their past two games.

Brandon Mobley scored 15 points and Desi Rodriguez contributed 12 for the Pirates (13-6, 3-4), who have lost three straight.

Seton Hall fell to 4-4 without star freshman Isaiah Whitehead, who has been out since late December with a stress fracture in his foot.
