16. Butler Bulldogs

Previous Ranking: 11

Record: 18-5 (7-4 Big East)

Butler is starting to slip after back-to-back home losses to Georgetown and Creighton, but remain third in the Big East. The Bulldogs will try and recover their momentum against Marquette on the road.

Leading scorer Kelan Martin had just 11 points on 5-of-12 shooting in the Creighton loss. Despite being the team’s best scoring option, Martin is now shooting just 41 percent from the floor overall and 34 percent from deep. He absolutely has to be the guy if Butler is to remain in the Big East race. Freshman Kamar Baldwin is doing what he can, but more consistency is needed from upperclassmen like Andrew Chrabascz and Avery Woodson.
