Final 2009-2010 Butler Projection:

There is nothing stopping this team from winning 25 games again. The Horizon League is not too bad, so they might not cruise through the conference, but Butler fans should hope their conference can do better as a whole this time around or Butler will once again lose just a handful of games and then be stuck with an eight or nine seed when they deserve a three or four seed.

Projected Post-season Tournament: NCAA

2009-2010 Butler Basketball Projected Starting Five:

• Shelvin Mack, Sophomore, Guard, 11.9 points per game
• Ronald Nored, Sophomore, Guard, 4.2 points per game
• Willie Veasley, Senior, Guard, 8.9 points per game
• Gordon Hayward, Sophomore, Forward, 13.1 points per game
• Matt Howard, Junior, Forward, 14.8 points per game
