23. Butler Bulldogs

Butler is a beneficiary of Texas losing. The Bulldogs are 4-0 heading into match-ups with Vanderbilt and Utah. The Bulldogs keep chugging along as one of the steadiest programs in college basketball.

Junior Kelan Martin has been the star early with 16.8 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. The team is also getting key contributions from freshman Kamar Baldwin and transfers Tyler Lewis (NC State) and Avery Woodson (Memphis). Butler is currently a top 25 team in both adjusted offense and defense, so it would appear that the young team is gelling right now.
