INDIANAPOLIS – After going three weeks between basketball games, Butler is now scheduled to play four in eight days.
Butler announced Friday it will play DePaul on Monday, Dec. 21 at Hinkle Fieldhouse. The game is set for 5:30 p.m. and will be televised on FS1.
It will be one of two scheduled Big East meetings between DePaul, which has not played a game yet, and Butler. The Blue Demons were supposed to open their season Dec. 18 at Xavier, which went on pause Friday for COVID-19 issues. Butler could end up being DePaul’s opening opponent.
