Coach Stevens admitted in the post-game interview that Butler was overplaying our perimeter on defense due to respect for our A10 leading 3pt shooting. Sanford and Benson made them pay in the paint. Conversely, If we would have done the same to Butler, their bigs would have schooled us. Too much experience and skill for our bigs.
So a lot of what happened today, ie. UD's success in the paint, and Butlers open looks from 3pt had to do with the strategy each coach felt was necessary to win.
