INDIANAPOLIS – Butler has added a second Southeastern Conference opponent to its nonleague basketball schedule.
Butler on Friday announced a home-and-home series against Mississippi. The Rebels will travel to Hinkle Fieldhouse in the upcoming season, and the Bulldogs will play at Oxford, Miss., in the 2019-20 season.
Butler had previously announced a home-and-home series against Florida, beginning with a game at Gainesville, Fla.
The Bulldogs have never played Mississippi but have gone against Ole Miss coach Kermit Davis. When Davis was at Middle Tennessee State, Butler won 74-65 in the second round of the 2017 NCAA tournament at Milwaukee.
