It’s early in conference play, but Creighton, Georgetown and Villanova sure would feel good if they could be 2-0 in the league standings by the end of Saturday. All three will have that chance.
Creighton, which won at Providence 79-68 on Monday, visits Butler Saturday at noon ET on FS1. The Bluejays rank third nationally in 3-point shooting, making 44.8 percent and fourth in field goal shooting, connecting on 52 percent. The Bulldogs, who lost at home 84-76 to Georgetown, counter with the league’s top scoring defense, allowing 65.9 points per game. Butler also is first in free throw shooting, making 75 percent.
