Butler's a really hard place to win at. If UC wins, it should stamp us as a legit top 15 (10?) team.

This may be one of only two remaining chances to get a W over a ranked team.

OOC game
Ranked opponent (and top 50 RPI team)
Away game

That's the trifecta of things the NCAA tourney committee looks for. Winnning games like this is the difference between a 4 seed and a 7 seed in the NCAA tourney.

Is this the prediction thread? If so

UC 67
Butler 60

Expect a big game from KW and GC. Butler has nobody to stop them down low.

This. UC pulls one out Saturday and they are sitting pretty with 2 Top 25 road wins before Christmas. That would be impressive.
