Butler left the Horizon League after the 2011-12 season and played one season, 2012-13, in the Atlantic 10.

The Bulldogs now play in the Big East.

“This game made a lot of sense for us,” Wright State head coach Clint Sargent said. “They’re a former Horizon League opponent, which adds familiarity and history to the matchup. It’s a game our fans will appreciate – and with Butler’s close proximity, it gives them a great opportunity to travel and support us in person.”

November’s game will be the 44th all-time meeting between the two schools.

They played annually from 1994-2012, including eight games in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference (MCC)/Horizon League Tournament.
