After their first loss of the season to Michigan State, the Butler men’s basketball team’s chance to bounce back will be against a tough opponent in the University of Houston Cougars.

The game is a part of the Maui Jim Maui Invitational, an annual tournament that takes place during the week of Thanksgiving. While the tournament is usually held in Lahaina, Hawaii, this year’s contests will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada — due to COVID-19 restrictions in Hawaii.
