Follow along with all the action on Saturday as Notre Dame takes on Butler in the Third Round of the NCAA Tournament


Slowly but surely here in the 2015 NCAA Tournament we’re learning who the final 16 teams in college basketball will be. Saturday night in the final game of the day, we’ll find out who the eighth team will be as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish take on the Butler Bulldogs.

Notre Dame comes into this one as the No. 3 seed in the Midwest Region, even though that didn’t show through all that much in their first outing on Thursday. Notre Dame opened up their NCAA Tournament journey Thursday afternoon against Northeastern, and they almost had quite the early exit. But in the end, the ACC champions were able to prevail and advance on.

Butler comes into this one as the No. 6 seed and they were able to take care of the Texas Longhorns on Thursday in their first game, and they’re hoping to get to yet another Sweet 16 as this program continues to solidify itself as one of the best in the nation.

This one should be a battle and you can follow along with all the action as it happens live on Saturday below.
