The State of the Other 22: Week 3--The Mid-Majority

2. Butler (Horizon League), 113.789, 8-1 (2-0)

Not even a close road loss to Ohio State could budge the Bulldogs from No. 2 because hey, it's a close road loss to Ohio State. The only surprising thing about it was that the often-careful turned the ball over more than the Buckeyes did (19 times!), shot only 32 percent, and still almost won. This is the new era of Butler, the one where the Bulldogs can outrebound you (thanks in large part to Mr. Howard), and all of a sudden the team's margin for error has grown substantially.

VU'S JONES OUT INDEFINITELY--The NWI Times

Valparaiso men's basketball coach Homer Drew stated on Tuesday that he was no closer to making a decision regarding the long-term fate of Logan Jones after the freshman was arrested over the weekend.

Jones was arrested for underage consumption two blocks from the Athletics-Recreation Center early Sunday morning, roughly 2 1/2 hours after the team returned from a road trip in Ohio. On Monday, Drew announced that Jones was immediately suspended from the team, but did not give an indication for how long.

"I'm still going through the process of collecting information and visiting right now," Drew said. "We'll know more by the end of the week."

Jones has appeared in all nine games for the Crusaders this season and is averaging 2.3 points in 11.4 minutes per game. The 6-foot-2 guard played a season-low two minutes in Saturday's 62-50 loss to Miami (Ohio).

TICKETS AVAILABLE FOR WINDY CITY CLASSIC: Additional tickets have been made available for Saturday's Windy City Hoops Classic game between Valparaiso University and North Carolina. The game will be played at the United Center. The game takes place at 1 p.m. Tickets are available for at least $15 at ticketmaster.com. Walk-up sales will also be available at the United Center box office Saturday.
