INDIANAPOLIS — When he transferred to Butler two summers ago, Rotnei Clarke couldn’t have predicted he’d be a part of the biggest upset of the 2012-13 season so far.

Yet there he was, on the court as walk-on Alex Barlow hit the game-winning floater to knock off then-No. 1 Indiana in overtime at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in a Dec. 15 game that made it feel like March. There he was, celebrating the victory in a pile of happy Bulldogs.

He couldn’t have known what would happen when he chose Butler, but he knew the possibility existed.

“That was one of the reasons I came,” he said. “I think it says a lot about our team and about our character to go into overtime against the No.1 team in the country in a venue like this and a game like this and pull it out, gut it out for each other.”

Clarke led Arkansas in scoring during the 2010-11 season with 15.2 points a game but left after coach John Pelphrey was fired. after the 2010-11 season, during which Clarke led the team at 15.2 points per game. The Verdigris, Okla., native sat out last season per transfer rules and has had a huge impact in his first two months with Butler. He is averaging 17.7 points a game and hit the winning shot against Marquette on Nov. 19 — a one-handed three-pointer at the buzzer.

USA TODAY Sports caught up with Clarke minutes after No. 21 Butler upset Indiana 88-86 to discuss the big win and other fun stuff.
