About Butler
Scouting #22 Creighton (11-3, 2-2 BIG EAST)
After getting back on track with a 75-68 win over DePaul on Saturday, the Bluejays return home for games against Butler and Providence this week.
Creighton is at its best when running coach Flanery's motion offense by sharing the basketball. The Bluejays are 11-0 this season when notching at least 12 assists and are 10-0 when recording more assists than their opponent.
The Bluejays are guided by the trio of Emma Ronsiek (17.9 ppg), Lauren Jensen (16.6 ppg) and Morgan Maly (14.1 ppg). The Bluejays defense has held the opposition to 40% or less from the field in eight contests, all victories (8-0).
Scouting Butler (8-6, 0-3 BIG EAST)
The Bulldogs are two years removed from a 1-27 season, with the most important change being the hiring of Austin Parkinson. This season Butler completed an impressive 8-3 mark in non-conference play, highlighted by wins at Wisconsin and over Ohio.
BIG EAST play, however, started off with a road loss to Connecticut and home losses to Georgetown and Seton Hall. Butler has its own big three in Caroline Strande (14.9 ppg), Rachel Kent (11.4 ppg) and Jordan Meulemans (10.5 ppg). One weakness for Butler has been turnovers, the Bulldogs have
committed 212 in 14 games (15.1 per game).

Keys To the Game on January 10 (vs. Butler)
- Post defense: Creighton is experienced at being undersized, but this is the area that the Bulldogs will need to capitalize on. Butler has five players on their roster at 6-2 or above, while the Bluejays' tallest player stands at 6-1.
- Three-Point Shooting: Countering the Bulldogs size is Creighton's ability to light up the scoreboard from long range. Two seasons ago the Bluejays set a school record with 22 treys, while last year Creighton had 23 in two games against the Bulldogs.
- Sharing the Basketball: Creighton is 10-0 when winning the assist column. Â
