Re: Butler Bulldogs

Butler is a member of the same conference as UW Milwaukee and those two are generally battling for the championship each season. The Butler teams that I have seen play great defense and tend to work hard for good shots. They had a really good outside shooting team a couple of years ago, but as the article mentions, they had trouble scoring last year. Sounds like the Jacks will match up pretty evenly to the Bulldogs.

Bulldogs Open 2004-05 Season At Home

Butler will host South Dakota State in the first of three straight games at Hinkle Fieldhouse

Nov. 17, 2004

NO PLACE LIKE HOME: Butler will open the 2004-05 season with a three-game homestand, beginning with a test against new NCAA Division I foe South Dakota State. The Bulldogs' home-opener against the Jackrabbits will take place on Friday, Nov. 19, at 7 PM (EST) in Hinkle Fieldhouse. South Dakota State, a former NCAA Division II program making the move to Division I, is coming off a 27-7 season. The two squads will be meeting for the first time since 1976 and for just the second time overall. Butler won that first meeting, 74-62, at Hinkle Fieldhouse. The Bulldogs' homestand will continue with games against Greenville on Monday, Nov. 22, and Miami (Ohio) on Saturday, Nov. 27.

Butler is 21-1 in home openers since 1982-83. . . .

Go Jackrabbits, beat the Bulldogs! ;D

Re: Butler Bulldogs

I don't know if there's anyone from Indiana on this board, but if so, do you, or does anyone else know, if there's any type of Jackrabbit gathering before the game?

Re: Butler Bulldogs

Hopefully the Jacks can pull a Hoosier like victory in the home of the movie tommorrow night.

Re: Butler Bulldogs

A victory for the Jacks tomorrow would be a huge upset. I hope we can hang with the Dogs for the first half. Aggressive defense and rebounding will be the key and then we need to get lucky and shoot about 60% from the field. Good luck to the boys, this won't be easy.
