Butler hasn't shot the ball well, but they have clamped down defensively and pulled back within four at 15-13 with 7:30 to play. The Bulldogs have done all of this with Matt Howard on the bench in foul trouble.

CBS also hoping this game stays close so that they can put their new A-team of Jim Nantz and Clark Kellogg on display. Kellogg took over as the lead color commentator after the network parted ways with Billy Packer.
