Michigan State enters this matchup with a disappointing 1-2 record three games into the season. Butler is off to a much better start and is sitting at 3-0 — although the Bulldogs have yet to face a team ranked higher than No. 275 in KenPom rankings.
Tip-off is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET and will be televised on Fox Sports 1.
