After healing up over the holiday break, the men’s basketball team hit the road to take on Creighton. Despite the extended time off, the Dawgs looked unprepared early on and fell 89-85
Creighton came out swinging, taking a 12-2 lead and forcing an early timeout by head coach Thad Matta. Butler shaved the lead down as low as one point behind strong minutes from redshirt sophomore forward Jamie Kaiser Jr and senior center Yohan Traore, but the Bluejays answered back to go into halftime with a nine-point lead.
