Pre-Duel Pleasantries: Butler

Xavier and Butler have quickly turned into one of the best rivalries in the Big East, and it continues today. To get you ready for the game, we talked to Jared Grubbs over at Butlerhoops.com. Let’s see what he had to say.

1.) Butler somehow has Villanova's number. What has when right in your two games against the Wildcats?

If I had to select just 1 thing it would be Villanova's struggle from the 3 point arc in both games. They were just 12-50 from 3 combined in the 2 games. That's an important weapon for the Wildcats, and their struggles from there opened the door for upsets and Butler took advantage.
