2013-14 Schedule Update (UPDATED 9/5)

Butler fans! Sorry, long time no post.  There hasn't been any major news about Butler basketball the last couple of months.  That being said, the non-conference schedule is starting to take shape.  Here are couple of important notes about the schedule and then I will list the schedule as it stands right now.

• The Bulldogs will most likely be playing 12 non-conference games.  (The NCAA rule is 27 games + an early season tournament).  
• This is accounted for with 18 conference games, the 3 game Old Spice Classic, and 9 other non conference games.
• If they play a non-bracketed game against another team in the Old Spice Classic, then they would play 13 non conference games.  (Only Gonzaga and West Virginia did this last year)
• Butler will not be playing at Indiana State in the BracketBuster return game this season; that game will be played in 2014-15.  (Most likely Butler didn't want to play 3 road games in the state of Indiana in the same year; they are already playing at Ball State and Evansville).

Here is what is known so far:

November 9                      vs. Lamar

November 16                    vs. Princeton
November 19                    vs. Vanderbilt

November 23                    @ Ball State

November 28                    vs. Washington State (Old Spice Classic)

November 29                    Old Spice Classic

December 1                      Old Spice Classic
December 7                      vs. North Dakota
December 9                      vs. Manchester University (IN)

December 14                    vs. Purdue (Crossroads Classic)
December 21                    @Evansville
December 28                    vs. NJIT

UPDATE: Butler will not host Northwestern until the 2014-15 season.
