Rick Pitino and the St. John’s Red Storm (24-4, 15-2) travel to the Midwest tonight for a Big East tilt in Indianapolis against the Butler Bulldogs (13-14, 6-10).

The Bulldogs were one of the Red Storm’s thirteen victims this year losing to St. John’s back in early January, 70-62. Butler, though, is currently playing some of its best basketball of the season having won three of its last four games.
