We have all seen Tuesday or Wednesday night games in Omaha against Evansville or Southern Illinois (last few years anyway) in January/February where there were fewer than 50% of the seats full.
My point is attendance numbers are not always what they seem, and Butler has had an excellent run the past 10-15 years as others have noted. I'm thrilled CU was invited, and I'm thrilled that we get to play Butler (and everyone else) twice a year.

How do the jays handle some lean years without an all american on the court? The point is, both schools have established a track record of consistency over the past few years.
They along with XU were the best possible options. SLU and Dayton are not on their level. Are they good programs? Yes. Better than the 3? I don't think so.
