The Butler Bulldogs were very rude guests when they visited Cincinnati last year. Roosevelt Jones got a layup to go in as the final seconds ticked off the clock to give the Bulldogs a 78-76 victory over the then No. 17 Bearcats.
Now UC gets the chance to pay back Butler in kind. Once again, the Bearcats are nationally ranked, after jumping to No. 22 in the AP Top 25 earlier in the week. Butler has been in the rankings in back-to-back weeks but just dropped a 72-71 decision on the road to Indiana State to end its perfect start to the season.
