Pacers rest another day...Butler loses game and shot...Would Brad Stevens test NBA waters?
A.J. Price didn't like the Indiana Pacers' approach to last night's loss in New Orleans, but he does like UConn's chances against Bulter tonight.
The Indiana Pacers were beaten handily by the New Orleans Hornets, 108-96. A loss by the Charlotte Bobcats, however, improved the Pacers chances of making the playoffs.
