The Bulldogs and Blue Demons face off for the second time in BIG EAST play.
The Butler Bulldogs and DePaul Blue Demons enter Wednesday evening's game at Hinkle Fieldhouse in very different places.
Butler, who amassed an impressive 11-1 record in nonconference play has insofar struggled in BIG EAST play, going 2-5 so far.
DePaul, on the other hand, has been a bit snakebitten all season, coming into this game at 7-12, but coming off the heels of a win in Milwaukee over Marquette last Wednesday, their first of conference play.
The Bulldogs need a win to avoid a clubbing blow to their NCAA Tournament hopes.
