Pregame Primer: Creighton Looks to Go 2-0 in Big East Play as they Head to Butler

Creighton hasn’t started 2-0 in league play — MVC or Big East — with both wins coming on the road since 1941-42. They’ll get a chance to do just that on Saturday when they take on a reeling Butler Bulldogs team at Hinkle Fieldhouse. The Bulldogs were pummeled at Florida last Saturday, falling behind 21-0, eventually trailing by as many as 37 points, and losing 77-43 in Gainesville for their most lopsided defeat in 25 years. Then they fell behind at home by as many as 16 points to Georgetown, used a 10-0 run to pull within five with 1:22 to play, then surrendered a 10-0 run to end the game and drop their Big East opener 84-76.
