CARBONDALE, Ill. -- Butler is making its first appearance at SIU Arena and faces the Salukis for only the third time ever.

The Bulldogs, ranked 16th by the AP poll and 17th by ESPN/Coaches, are looking to avenge a 68-64 loss last season in a BracketBuster contest at Hinkle Field House.

Butler is getting it done with balance, as four players have scored in double figures in their last three games. A.J Graves leads the way with 16.8 per game (Mike Green comes in at 14.7, Pete Campbell at 11.7 and Matt Howard at 11.5).
