Looking to bounce back from an 81-72 loss at St. John’s last Friday, No. 6 UConn (22-2, 12-1) takes the court at Hinkle Fieldhouse tonight against the Butler Bulldogs (13-11, 4-9).
The loss snapped the Huskies’ 18-game winning streak. Despite the recent hiccup, the Huskies remain dominant in the Big East and have historically dominated this matchup, holding a perfect 12-0 all-time record against the Bulldogs. Butler, currently on a four-game losing streak, will rely on the hot hand of junior guard Finley Bizjack—who has averaged over 20 points since the start of 2026—to pull off an upset against a squad who has no doubt been pushed by Head Coach Danny Hurley even harder than usual in practice since the loss.

Butler has a record of 2-4 in Q1 games and is 1-6 in Q2. UConn is 5-2 in Q1 and 8-0 in Quad 2 games. That said, UConn is ranked No. 10 in KenPom and No. 8 in the NET. Butler is ranked No. 12 in KenPom and 73rd in the NET.
