On Senior Night, a white-out, the Creighton Bluejays (21-9, 14-5) host the Butler Bulldogs (13-17, 6-13) for Creighton’s final home game of the season. Creighton is playing for seeding both in the NCAA Tournament and Big East Tournament, and a loss here is detrimental to Creighton’s seeding in both tournaments. For third-year Butler Head Coach Thad Matta, winning this game helps Butler to get momentum into the Big East Tournament. Creighton, meanwhile, looks not to stub their toe on a Butler team that gave the Bluejays fits in Indianapolis.
First Matchup
With around 11 minutes left in the first meeting, Creighton and Butler were in a pretty tight contest.
