The Dawgs and Musketeers tip off at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Friday on FS1. The Big East announced Thursday that Butler’s game at Connecticut has been rescheduled for Tuesday, January 18th.

The fan-favorite is currently on a 10-day deal, and scored 30 points in Wednesday night’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The Pacers have lost six games in a row, and host the Utah Jazz Saturday night.
