What to Know
The Butler Bulldogs will hit the road for the second straight game as they head to Carnesecca Arena at 6:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
2023 “welcomed” the Bulldogs with a 76-51 beatdown courtesy of the Seton Hall Pirates this past Saturday. The top scorer for Butler was guard Jayden Taylor (14 points).
The St. John’s Red Storm lost a heartbreaker to the Providence Friars when they met last February, and they left with a heavy heart again this past Saturday. It was close but no cigar for the Red Storm as they fell 83-80 to Providence. A silver lining for St. John’s was the play of center Joel Soriano, who posted a double-double on 16 points and ten boards. That makes it three consecutive games in which Soriano has had at least ten rebounds.
Butler was pulverized by St. John’s 91-57 when the two teams previously met in February of last year. Can the Bulldogs avenge their loss, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We’ll soon find out.
