I absolutely love this matchup. I love it. As a Wisconsin fan, you should always want and expect to play the toughest opponents.
That’s what being a Wisconsin man is all about. If you want to be elite, then you have to play elite competition.
Butler is one of the best mid-major programs in America. Not only are they a great program, but they also have a great history.
The Bulldogs went to back-to-back title games in 2010 and 2011. They might not be in a P5 conference, but they’re damn good.
Now Wisconsin will get a crack at them early in the season. Again, I love this kind of move from everyone involved.
You should want to make your schedule as difficult as possible, and playing Butler is a step towards accomplishing that goal.
I can’t wait to see what the Bulldogs bring during the Fort Myers Tip-Off.
