The Northwestern Men’s Basketball team will face its toughest test to date when the it travels to Hinkle Fieldhouse to take on perennial NCAA tournament participant Butler. The Bulldogs finished 22-10 last season, eventually falling to number-one seed Virginia in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
This season, the Bulldogs are without graduated seniors Roosevelt Jones and Kellen Dunham, two players who brought a lot of toughness, leadership and offense for the team in years past. There isn’t reason for Butler to push the panic button, though; the Bulldogs return the capable trio of Tyler Lewis, Andrew Chrabascz and Kelan Martin.
