After a thrilling effort last night holding off Providence, Butler is back on the court facing off with top-seeded Marquette in Big East Tourney play. Look for Kristen Spolyar to follow up her 21 point performance for the Bulldogs with more shots today. Whitney Jennings looks to be a key performer once again, and if the Bulldogs need to sink free throws, look no further than Tori Schickel, who made 13 of them yesterday against the Friars. Marquette comes into today's action looking to defend the title they won last year in Milwaukee. Their star player Allazia Blockton looks to play a part in that title defense. The reigning Big East player of the year comes in with a whopping 19.2 points per game scored in league action. She also was named Big East Women's Scholar Athlete, becoming just the 7th person to win both accolades. Other Golden Eagles to watch are Erika Davenport and Amani Wilborn.
