In an attempt to recover from their 81-72 loss at St John’s last Friday, No. 6 UConn looks to improve. 6 UConn (22-2, 12-1) takes the court tonight against the Butler Bulldogs (13-11, 4-9) at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
The loss snapped the Huskies’ 18-game winning streak. Despite the recent hiccups, the Huskies remain dominant in the Big East and have historically dominated this matchup, holding a perfect 12-0 all-time record against the Bulldogs. Butler, who is currently on a four-game losing streak, will rely on junior guard Finlay Bizjak, who has averaged more than 20 points since the start of 2026, to pull off the upset against a squad that the head coach has undoubtedly pushed. Danny Hurley has been even harder than usual in practice since the loss.
Led by Taris Reed Jr.’s inside dominance and Silas Demaree Jr.’s strong play, the Huskies are heavily favoured to sweep the season series against Butler.
These schools meet on December 16. The Huskies rolled to a 79-60 victory in Hartford. Single ball led the Huskies to victory with 26 points in the game.
Butler’s record is 2-4 in Q1 games and 1-6 in Q2. UConn is 5-2 in Q1 and 8-0 in Quad 2 games. That said, UConn is ranked No. 10 in Kenpom and No. 8 in NET. Butler is ranked No. 12 and No. 73 in KenPom’s NET.
