FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas faces one of the NCAA Tournament's most recognizable teams Friday when it meets Butler in Detroit.
The Bulldogs are in the NCAA Tournament for the 10th time in 12 seasons and have won 18 postseason games during that time. While a member of the Horizon League, Butler became a household name with consecutive appearances in the national championship game in 2010 and 2011, losses to Duke and Connecticut.
Through coaching and conference affiliation changes, Butler has continued to be a tough out at the tournament. The Bulldogs have won at least one tournament game each of the last three seasons and advanced to the Sweet 16 last year for the fourth time since 2007.
