Butler senior forward Kelan Martin has always been able to score, but has expanded his versatility this season.

Entering Tuesday night's game with fifth-ranked Xavier in Indianapolis, Martin averages 19.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists.

Martin leads the Big East with a 21.9 average in conference games. The Bulldogs (17-7, 7-4 Big East) have won four consecutive games. The Musketeers (21-3, 9-2), who have won six in a row, won the first meeting 86-79 at Xavier on Jan. 2.

"I think he's hungry to be better," Butler coach LaVall Jordan said of Martin.
