The Butler men's basketball team will enter the 2016 NCAA Tournament as a No. 9 seed in the Midwest Region. The Bulldogs will face No. 8 seed Texas Tech on Thursday, March 17 in Raleigh, N.C.
"This is a great day for us," said coach Chris Holtmann. "You're always grateful for the opportunity to play in the best tournament there is. I've seen a little bit of Texas Tech this season, including when they were with us in Puerto Rico (Tip-Off) and I've been impressed with their toughness and their grit. This time of year, you are always across from a quality team.
