INDIANAPOLIS -- DePaul has a mere one Big East victory but the Blue Demons certainly gave Butler all it can handle in their first meeting this season.
DePaul led Butler 25-5 the first time around before the Bulldogs rallied for a 70-69 overtime victory on Jan. 21. Butler's largest lead in the game was two points.
"We have to get ready for a DePaul that absolutely wore us out," Butler coach Chris Holtmann said. "They physically manhandled us."
The No. 24 Bulldogs (20-6, 9-5 in the Big East) will host DePaul (8-18, 1-12) at 1:30 p.
