Butler enters critical week for NCAA tournament hopes

Butler or Seton Hall could become the fourth team out of the Big East to get into the NCAA tournament. Is there room for both?

Although the conference schedule is well passed the midpoint, the two teams will meet for the first time this season Wednesday at Newark, N.J. Seton Hall visits Butler on March 2 in the penultimate game of the Bulldogs’ regular season.

Every game will be meaningful for Butler as it tries to build its resume´, but that is especially so this week. The Bulldogs face No. 5 Xavier on Saturday at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
