Duke and Butler are set to clash Monday night in Indianapolis — winner take all.
Butler, the hometown underdogs just miles from Lucas Oil Arena, will be looking to pull a major upset over the powerhouse Duke, with tip off set for 9:21 p.m. ET on CBS.
The Bulldogs are expected to have 6-foot-8 junior Matt Howard in the lineup, as the center was
cleared to participate in the Bulldogs' shootaround. Team spokesman Jim McGrath said team
doctors will monitor Howard following the shootaround
before making a decision on his status.
Howard, who averages 11.6 points and 5.2 rebounds and was the 2008-09 Horizon League player of the year, watched Sunday's practice
after sustaining a concussion in Saturday's 52-50 victory over Michigan
State.
