The No. 9-seeded Butler Bulldogs meet the No. 8-seeded Xavier Musketeers in the Big East tournament. Follow David Woods for more Bulldogs coverage.
What’s at stake for Butler?
For this season, not much. The Bulldogs (13-16, 6-12 conference) have lost five games in a row and the season ends with their next loss. However, returning players can leave a good final impression heading into 2022-23.
What’s at stake for Xavier?
Almost everything. The Musketeers (18-12, 8-11) suffered a late-season slide that puts them on the NCAA Tournament bubble.
