What to Know

The Butler Bulldogs are 12-1 against the DePaul Blue Demons since January of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Tuesday. Butler and DePaul will face off in a Big East battle at 9 p.m. ET at Wintrust Arena. The Bulldogs should still be riding high after a win, while the Blue Demons will be looking to right the ship.

The Marquette Golden Eagles typically have all the answers at home, but this past Saturday Butler proved too difficult a challenge. Butler snuck past Marquette with an 85-79 victory. Butler's success was spearheaded by the efforts of forward Bryce Golden, who had 22 points, and forward Bryce Nze, who had 12 points along with nine boards. Nze's performance made up for a slower contest against the Creighton Bluejays last week.

Meanwhile, the Blue Demons were close but no cigar this past Saturday as they fell 76-73 to the Providence Friars. Five players on DePaul scored in the double digits: forward David Jones (19), guard Jalen Terry (15), center Nick Ongenda (11), guard Courvoisier McCauley (10), and forward Brandon Johnson (10).

The Bulldogs are expected to lose this next one by 6. The odds have been favorable for them against the spread on the road this season, even if it's been tough sledding overall. They are 5-2 ATS in away games but only 10-14 all in all.

Butler is now 12-13 while DePaul sits at 12-11. Butler is 6-5 after wins this year, and the Blue Demons are 3-7 after losses.
