Butler visits for weekend series

Yeah, we'll take it, but it sure wasn't pretty. You have to be able to find a way to win games like that, but I guess that goes without saying. You could make a case either way that we found a way to win it or Butler found a way to lose it.
 
Michigan St has to be the surprise team in the B1G so far in a negative way. They are well on their way to dropping a pair to Rutgers at home.
