After ranking the Big 12 football head coaches a week ago, Derek Young of KSO dives into his favorite non-conference basketball matchups this year for Kansas State
1. BUTLER
Yes, I know this isn't your father's Butler team. It doesn't have the likes of Gordon Hayward on it anymore. I'm also leaving off plenty of other staples that made the Bulldogs a tremendous basketball school at one point.
But being able to cover a game at Hinkle Fieldhouse doesn't belong anywhere else on the list. It will be a bit of a 'bucket list' kind of experience for me.
