Men's B-Ball: Jan. 30th - Feb. 7th

Hello, Bulldog Basketball fans. I am very excited to now be a part of your blogging experience, especially when that experience involves Butler Basketball!!

The coming 8 days are important ones for the men's team here at BU. They begin the second circuit of conference play tonight when Valparaiso comes to Hinkle for a 7 p.m. EST game. The Bulldogs (9-0 in the HL) beat the Crusaders, 75-62, in Valparaiso in what was an incredibly intense game earlier this month. I attended the game, and there is certainly no shortage of competition in this in-state rivalry. Look for tonight's game to be an especially exciting one, considering the Crusaders have a couple of starters returning from injuries.

Tonight's game will unfortunately be the last home game until Feb. 13th. The men will travel to UW-Green Bay for a Monday night game and then will return back to campus for a day before beginning a weekend on the road. The coming Thursday's game will be at the Univ. of Detroit, and then BU will finish the road trip with a game at Wright State next Saturday. (BU students, look for information on a fan bus to the Wright State game.)

Keep on cheering for the Dawgs these next 8 days; they are are big ones. Tonight's game vs. Valpo can be watched on ESPNU for those of you who aren't able to make it to Hinkle. Go Dawgs!!

P.S. Look for the women's basketball team (7-1 in the HL) to be playing at Hinkle next weekend (Feb. 6th & Feb. 8th).

Will be posting again soon!

Just a small recap and post that we will soon be blogging about Butler Basketball soon!
