INDIANAPOLIS – We take a pause from this 2017-18 college basketball season to sneak a peek at 2018-19... and beyond.

We can do that when Butler schedules a team like Youngstown State, which has not beaten a Division I opponent (0-8) and comes in ranked 347th out of 351 teams in RPI.

The Bulldogs shot a season-high 58.5 percent and a built a 25-point halftime lead in beating the Penguins 95-67 Saturday at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
