The Marquette University men's basketball team (9-12, 5-10 BIG EAST) continues its five-game road swing at Butler (7-11, 6-9 BIG EAST) on Wednesday, Feb. 17 at 5:30 p.m. CT from Hinkle Fieldhouse.

Series With Bulldogs Spans Program History
The all-time series dates back to the 1922-23 campaign and is led by Butler, 23-21.
MU claimed the first-ever meeting, 18-17, on Dec. 16, 1922, only to see the Bulldogs claim the next nine matchups. Marquette also collected a nine-game win streak between 1942 and 1990, with the last two contests during that run coming when both programs were members of the Midwestern Collegiate Conference.
Following Marquette's move to the Great Midwest Conference in 1991-92, the two teams wouldn't meet until Butler beat the Golden Eagles at the buzzer in the opening game of the 2012 Maui Invitational. MU would return the favor in the 2013 NCAA tournament, downing the Bulldogs 74-72 in the closing seconds to earn a trip to the squad's third-straight Sweet 16 appearance.
MU Wears Gold To Support Sarah Rose
Marquette's athletic teams will wear gold jerseys and/or shoelaces in their contests Feb. 17-21 in support of volleyball player Sarah Rose, who is undergoing treatment for Ewing's Sarcoma, a form of bone cancer.
All are encouraged to use the hashtag #Gold4Sarah to post their support on social media throughout the week. Those wishing to donate to those families affected by pediatric cancer can consider the Go4theGoal Foundation (qgiv.com).
Rose was diagnosed in the fall of 2020 and completed her undergraduate degree in communication studies with a marketing minor, all while undergoing different forms of chemotherapy eight days a month.
