About Butler
Scouting Butler(10-5, 0-2 BIG EAST)
After starting the season 9-2, Butler has lost three of its last four. Butler fell at DePaul (66-43) and to Seton Hall (69-49) to open BIG EAST action and are likely without leading scorer Caroline Strande to an injury suffered against the Pirates.
Butler has outscored the opposition by better than seven points per game. The Bulldogs also hold better than a three rebound edge over their opponents.
Scouting Creighton (10-3, 2-0 BIG EAST)
Creighton got back on track in the final game of 2024 with a 75-56 win at St. John's on December 28. During the victory the trio of Lauren Jensen, Morgan Maly and Kennedy Townsend combined for 50 points.
The Bluejays jumped out to a 39-21 lead at the half and coasted on for the win.
Jensen and Maly are the offensive leaders for Creighton with 18.2 and 17.4 ppg respectively.
Townsend Looks Forward to the Storm
Junior Kennedy Townsend has faced the St. John's Red Storm five times in her career. In those contests topped double figures twice and delivered nine points the first game against St. John's. In her career she has five games in double figures, twice coming against the Red Storm.
Flanery Trusting His Squad to Handle Business
Three times this season travel has forced the Bluejays to not be able to shoot at a visiting arena before warming up. The first example came at Xavier as Creighton played in an 11 am contest (Kids Day), the same thing happened at Green Bay and at St. John's. Creighton will follow the same pattern at Providence.
Four Year Stretch Among the Best in History
Having reached the NCAA Tournament for three consecutive seasons for the first time in school history, the Bluejays' last four seasons have the potential to be the best quartet of years in school history.
Looking only at record the Bluejays best four year stretch ranges from 1990-1994.
