With Creighton still reeling from Maurice Watson’s ACL injury and Xavier struggling as well, this was a perfect time for a team to emerge from the rest of the Big East. So far, it seems like the Butler Bulldogs have answered that call.
Ever since their double digit loss to the Bluejays two weeks ago, the Bulldogs have gone on an impressive run. They’ve won four straight, including a win against the aforementioned Musketeers. Thanks to this recent run, the Bulldogs are now tied for first in the Big East, only behind on ‘Nova in the loss column.
