Kamar Baldwin scored 31 points and added eight rebounds and five assists to carry No. 13 Butler to a come-from-behind, overtime victory over Marquette 89-85 on Friday in Indianapolis.

The Bulldogs (16-4, 4-3 Big East) overcame a nine-point deficit in the second half.

Sean McDermott scored 16 points and Henry Baddley added 10 for Butler, which snapped a three-game losing streak.

Baldwin converted a three-point play for an 80-76 lead with 2:08 remaining in overtime. Baldwin then dropped in a jumper for an 82-76 advantage with 1:05 left.

Sacar Anim's trey cut the gap to 86-85 with 27 seconds to go, but Baldwin made 1 of 2 free throws with 15.1 seconds remaining as Butler pulled ahead 89-85.

Markus Howard scored 26 points and Anim added 22 for Marquette. Brendan Bailey scored 14 points, and Theo John blocked seven shots for the Golden Eagles (14-6, 4-4). Koby McEwen had 13 points and 11 rebounds for Marquette, which had its three-game winning streak broken.

Butler fell behind 35-30, but McDermott came back with a 3-pointer to slice the deficit to two.

The Golden Eagles took a 39-35 lead into the locker room at halftime thanks in large part to Howard's 18 points.
