Game Preview

Two weeks ago, Butler capped a five-game losing streak with a 23-point home loss to St. John’s that all but erased the Bulldogs’ NCAA Tournament hopes.

Now, the Bulldogs must go on a run in the Big East tournament and get some outside help to restore their once promising season.

Entering with a NET rating of 65, eighth-seeded Butler opens the conference tourney on Wednesday against its biggest rival Xavier, the ninth seed.
