Tonight’s Big East men’s basketball schedule closes out with a tilt in Omaha between the Butler Bulldogs (13-17, 6-13) and the Creighton Bluejays (21-9, 14-5).
Just 3-3 in their last six games, the Bluejays may have rediscovered their mojo Tuesday against Seton Hall. Ryan Kalkbrenner scored 20 and pulled down 9 boards in the win.
The Bulldogs have lost their last three games and four out of their last five. An upset by Butler clinches eighth place in the Big East final regular season standings, but the Bulldogs have won just twice in ten road games this season.
Lets dive into the matchup and offer some information and possibly a sweat or two.
