What to Know
We've got another exciting Big East matchup on schedule as the Butler Bulldogs and the Georgetown Hoyas are set to tip at 6:30 p.m. ET on Friday at Capital One Arena. The Bulldogs are no doubt hoping to put an end to a five-game streak of away losses.
Last Tuesday, Butler couldn't handle Marquette and fell 78-69.
Jahmyl Telfort put forth a good effort for the losing side as he posted 24 points in addition to five assists. Less helpful for Butler was Pierre Brooks II's abysmal 0-5 three-point shooting.
Meanwhile, Georgetown suffered their biggest defeat since February 27, 2024 on Tuesday. They suffered a grim 66-41 loss to St. John's. The defeat unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for the Hoyas in their matchups with the Red Storm: they've now lost nine in a row.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Georgetown struggled to work together and finished the game with only six assists. Sadly, that's becoming something of a trend for them; they were averaging 15.8 assists per game earlier this season, but in their last five games they've fallen to only 10.2 per game.
Butler's loss dropped their record down to 9-12. As for Georgetown, their defeat dropped their record down to 13-8.
