ISU to face Butler in BracketBuster game

Terre Haute, Ind.(WTHI) - The annual Sears BracketBuster men's college basketball games have been announced. This year Indiana State will play at Butler.  "I want to play them. Its out of tremendous respect I have for Butler and head coach Brad Stevens and they what they have accomplished," said ISU head coach Greg Lansing. "For a mid-major to make it to NCAA championship game two years in a row is unheard of."

This marks the first time these two schools have played since 2007. ISU had a three-game winning streak over Butler from 2005-2007.

Coach Lansing did say as part of the Sears BracketBuster Butler does have to return a game to Indiana State and the Hulman Center.

Sports 10 asked coach Lansing on the possibility of this helping renew the series between Butler and ISU.  

 "We have talked to their staff in the summers, hopefully the schedule will open up for them. We would love to do it, think they like to do it too. Depends on where their schedule is at," Lansing said.
