INDIANAPOLIS -- Butler forward Kelan Martin understood exactly why he was pulled out of the starting lineup Saturday.If he keeps playing this way, it may not happen again.Martin scored 20 points, grabbed four rebounds and was the catalyst in two key second-half runs to lead the 16th-ranked Bulldogs past No. 22 Cincinnati 75-65.I had to come out with a different approach, he said. The other day (against Indiana State), I came out with no energy. Today, I came off the bench with a lot of energy.The change was as noticeable on the court as it was in the box score.In 31 minutes, Martin was 6 of 14 from the field, 3 of 7 on 3-pointers and 5 of 6 on free throws. He also had two assists, looked to get the ball quickly and into the right spots instead of settling for jump shots.And when the Bulldogs needed him most in the second half, Martin delivered with a big game that allowed Butler (9-1) to extend its home-court winning streak over non-conference foes to 34 games.We just were looking at a different lineup to start the game, coach Chris Holtmann said. It probably wont be the last time we mix up our lineup.Whatever the explanation, the change worked.Butler was 7 of 10 on 3-point attempts in the first half, 8 of 20 for the game and in control most of the way.Troy Caupain scored a season-high 22 points to lead the Bearcats (7-2) and Gary Clark added 14 points and 12 rebounds.We had to get stops and I think we only got one in the first half, Clark said. We didnt get many in the second half, either.The Bearcats spent most of the first half playing catch-up before tying the score at 35 on Caupains 3-pointer with about 1 second to go. They finally took a brief 38-37 lead early in the second half and tied the score again at 39.But Martins three-point play broke the tie and spurred a 14-4 run that gave Butler a 51-43 lead with 11:51 to go. Martin followed that with six points in a 12-5 flurry to seal the win.We tried not to make too much of the other night (a loss) and I dont want make too much of today either, Holtmann said. Pleased with it.Andrew Chrabascz had 12 points and four rebounds for Butler.BIG PICTURECincinnati: For the second straight season, the Bearcats hit a road block against Butler. The Bearcats certainly need to play better than they did Saturday if theyre going to meet expectations as the American Athletic Conference favorite.Butler: Maybe Holtmann is the streak buster. Since taking over as head coach three years ago, the Bulldogs are 18-3 following a loss. So was anybody really surprised Butler rebounded from its first loss of the season with a solid win over a ranked team? Not a chance.FOUL TROUBLEKyle Washington came into the game ranked 10th in the nation in double-doubles (5) and as the Bearcats leading scorer. He was nowhere close to those numbers Saturday. Washington was called for two fouls in the first 10 1/2 minutes of the game and two more in the first 9 minutes of the second half. It showed. Washington finished with seven points and no rebounds -- both season lows -- and was 2 of 8 from the field.CRONIN CRANKED UPBearcats coach Mick Cronin was particularly upset with the calls in the second half, and it cost him. With the Bearcats trailing 61-51 with 5:02 left, Cronin, angry about a non-call on a turnover, walked toward the midcourt line to argue and drew a technical foul. Martin made both free throws to give the Bulldogs their biggest lead of the game.UP NEXTCincinnati: Will try to rebound with a three-game home stand that begins Tuesday against Texas Southern.Butler: Will take the week off for finals before returning to action Dec. 17 against an old rival, No. 9 Indiana at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .

After Englands recent struggles on the sub-continent in Bangladesh - drawing the series 1-1 - India go into the five-match campaign as red-hot favourites.But Botham, who will be commentating on the series for Sky Sports, says England are capable of repeating their 2012/13 series success in the country. Watch all five Tests live on Sky Sports as Alastair Cooks side take on the No 1 side in the world The former all-rounder said: The last time England were here no-one saw them winning and we hammered them (by 10 wickets in Mumbai and seven wickets in Kolkata to win the series 2-1) so lets not get lets not get too gloomy.Forget Bangladesh - this is the Test series that matters. Congratulations to them but everyone is looking at this series. Its the number-one team against the guys who could be number one further down the line.Botham, who is also providing his tips for Sky Bet during the series, added: Theres no value in backing India at 1/10. If youre having bet, it has to be England at 12/1 - you can even have a saver at 10/1 on the drawn series although they are rare these days. Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain discuss the key to success for England as they prepare for the first of their five-match Test series in India Botham, who toured India himself with England back in 1981/82, also believes Stokes is the man who can shine with the bat for the tourists with his positive approach set to reap dividends.ddddddddddddWith holes having appeared in Englands top order, Stokes - 7/1 to be Englands top runscorer - looks capable of capitalising, just as he did in South Africa last winter when he made a memorable 258 in Cape Town, says Botham.Stokes can destroy spinners. He will attack them and be aggressive. As far as the bowlers go, you have to back a spinner to star - its going to be hard work for the seamers - but we arent entirely sure whos going to play.Moeen Ali should though and I can see him taking plenty of wickets in India. Ali is 11/4 to be Englands top wicket-taker in the series.After a sensational 2016 which has seen him take 44 wickets in seven Tests at an average of 19.86, Ravi Ashwin is the man everyones talking about in Indias attack but Botham believes Ravindra Jadeja - 7/2 to be Indias leading wicket-taker - could cause just as many problems as the left-armer will be turning the ball away from most of Englands best batsmen. Ravindra Jadeja: Can cause problems with his left-arm spin As for top India bat, Ajinkya Rahane (9/2) is one to keep an eye on and capable of outshining Indias leading light Virat Kohli, says Beefy.Beefys Bets for the India v England seriesEngland to win - 12/1Ben Stokes to be top England runscorer - 7/1Moeen Ali to be top England wicket-taker - 11/4Ravindra Jadeya to be top India wicket-taker - 7/2Ajinkya Rahane to be top India runscorer - 9/2 Watch the first Test between India and England in Rajkot on Wednesday, live from 3.30am on Sky Sports 2 Watch the first Test between India and England from 3.30am on Wednesday, live on Sky Sports 2 HD.
