INDIANAPOLIS – Are the Butler Bulldogs too boring for prime time?
CBS and other networks televising the NCAA basketball tournament might think so. They attempt to get Butler games out of the way as soon as possible.
Oddly, each of Butler’s past seven tournament openers has come during the Thursday afternoon session. With the first round split between Thursday and Friday, Butler should have half a chance to play Friday.
Nope. Thursday is a Dawg day.
Butler (23-8) will be a No. 4 seed when it opens against No. 13 seed Winthrop (26-6) at 1:30 p.
