Before National Marquette Day on Saturday, Marquette (17-3, 8-1 Big East) will travel to Indianapolis Tuesday night to take on the Butler Bulldogs (9-11, 2-7 Big East) at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
The first matchup
The Golden Eagles took down the Bulldogs 80-70 at Fiserv Forum on Dec. 18 behind a robust performance from senior guard Kam Jones, who scored 23 points while adding seven rebounds and five assists.
In their first meeting, Marquette attempted 28 more shots than Butler (75-47), its season-best in out-attempting the opponent. It was also Butler’s season worst in getting out-attempted.
