It is the beginning of March, and no one is talking about Butler.
Based on what the Bulldogs have done by the end of previous Marches, that is a good platform for them.
Nearly written off after January, Butler went 5-2 in February to position itself to make the NCAA tournament. The Bulldogs (19-9, 8-8 Big East) can enhance their resume by beating Seton Hall on Wednesday night at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
If the Big East kept standings for the second half of the round-robin, the rundown would look like this:
6-1, Seton Hall and Villanova.
