Butler Bulldogs
Butler came one point short of a perfect non-conference run but did lose by that point at Baylor three weeks ago.

The Bulldogs did defeat Minnesota at home, crushed Wofford, beat Missouri and Stanford at the Sprint Center in St. Louis, won at Mississippi, took down Florida at home and got a really nice victory against Purdue in Indianapolis at the home of the NBA’s Indiana Pacers. That resume has Butler twelfth in the current AP Poll heading into conference play.
Kamar Baldwin, a diminuitive 6’1 senior, is as good as it gets for guard play in college basketball. He’s technically precise in his movements and has tremendous athleticism to compliment his feel for the game.
He started twenty-three games as a freshman and right from the tip averaged double-figures in the scoring column. That scoring output increased in the two subsequent season to seventeen a year ago.
This season, however, he’s only scoring fourteen points per game. He’s cut his turnovers and shooting better from three but worse from two.
The real difference is the workload. Baldwin is playing twenty-eight minutes per game this season, down from over thirty-four a season ago. Head Coach LaVall Jordan is doing what he can to keep his star guard unfatigued this season.
St. John’s Red Storm
St. John’s went 12–0 in the non-conference a season ago before floundering through the conference schedule and losing an NCAA Tournament play-in game to Arizona State, its only appearance in the Big Dance in four years under Chris Mullin, who resigned after the season.
Mike Anderson took over as the new head coach and brings with him a steady track record of success. He reached the NCAA Tournament three times with UAB, Missouri and Arkansas and has never finished under .500 in seventeen seasons.
Also gone is Shamorie Ponds, the twenty-point-per-game scorer who was both the primary ball-handler and scorer for the Johnnies.
With Ponds’ strong gravitational force gone, the Red Storm has established more balanced scoring this season with four guys in double-figures, led by LJ Figueroa and Mustapha Heron, two upperclassmen who return from last year’s team.
Julian Champagnie, a 6’7″ freshman guard from Brooklyn, is another one of those double-digits scorers, as is Rasheem Dunn, a transfer who sat out last season after scoring over fifteen points per game for St. Francis in 2017/18.
