Adrian has gone 8-2 against Butler recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Monday. The Adrian Blackhawks will head out on the road to square off against the Butler Bears at 5:30 p.m. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.

Last Tuesday, Adrian ended up a good deal behind Pleasant Hill and lost 54-40.

Meanwhile, Butler lost 63-41 to Lone Jack on Wednesday. While losing is never fun, the Bears can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Missouri basketball rankings (they are ranked 294th, while the Mules are ranked 109th).

Adrian's loss dropped their record down to 9-4. As for Butler, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost seven of their last eight games, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-10 record this season.

Adrian strolled past Butler when the teams last played back in December of 2024 by a score of 48-29. The rematch might be a little tougher for Adrian since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
