GAME PREVIEW

On December 16, 2017, the Butler Bulldogs faced off against the Purdue Boilermakers in a game that seems relatively inconsequential now. Purdue dominated the game and cruised to an 82-67 victory. The two teams will face off again this Sunday, but the situation is very different. The winner will advance to the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16, while the loser will be forced into the offseason.
