Bizjack will be at #Hinkle this Saturday for the Seton Hall game. If you see him, let him know how excited we are for him to join the team in the fall. Also, wouldn’t be a bad idea to congratulate him on his 51 pt game from tonight. No, 5️⃣1️⃣ is not a typo‼️🐐

We feel like #ButlerNation🇺🇸 hasn’t shown @big_sean14 the appreciation and recognition he deserves for what he has done this season (to date). Today he gave us another double-double, so Sean, thank you for your senior leadership and strong performance! #TougherLonger #Butler
18 points and 11 rebounds 🔥
@big_sean14 picked up his 2nd-straight double-double tonight for @ButlerMBB ⬇️

Pierce Thomas currently ranks 36th in the NCAA in defensive rebounds per possession…
At 6’5”.
He’s 56th in the NCAA in steals per possession.
He’s one of only two players we’ve got with an offensive rating greater than 100 right now (Manny being the other).

As I fall asleep here in Los Angeles thinking about my Dawgs performance tonight,that was a top 3 most entertaining, fun and electric games in the ol’ barn in the over 35 years I’ve followed my team. Thank you Thad Matta, staff and current team for bringing us back to relevance.

Need to remind everyone. Unless someone leaves, we only lose one player next year. Big East coaches, time to slot #Butler a little higher in your pre-season poll next year.

Love all these “national”

Butler just beat Creighton in a record-breaking scoring clinic, 99-98.
It's the only Big East game since at least 2011 where both teams have scored more than 95 points in regulation. It's also the first BE game in almost six years to have both teams shoot over 54.5% in a game.

Two years ago this week, #Butler was ranked in the Top 5. We have three starters still from that group: AT, Nze, Golden. Why a complete 180? Assistant Coach Jeff Meyer retired, McD and Baldwin graduated. That’s all we can think of unless you have other thoughts.

Why Butler, why? You were up 3 with 9 seconds. Staff, second time this season you made this call and it didn’t work out either time. Friars were cold from the line too.

Now is not the time to pile on. I’m looking to the future and what this team will look like in future seasons. The last staff left us in shambles and it will take a few years to climb out of that.

This is not fun anymore. Watched or listened to every game for over 30 years and even during down years, I’ve watched sound fundamental Butler Basketball. Not seeing that under this coaching staff.

Dan Hurley on the win over Gonzaga…
"Again, we're playing non-conference opponents right now. THE BIG EAST IS THE BEST CONFERENCE IN THE COUNTRY. So, we're doing what we've done to non-conference teams."
#ButlerNation🇺🇸 agrees Coach Hurley. Keep Rolling.

Total team effort on this one. With not scoring until the under 16 in the 1H (no bueno), these Dawgs were resilient, calm,cool & collected to pull out the win in double overtime. Clutch performances by DJ and Telfort in the end of regulation & overtime. Screen is the unsung hero!

With the entire team returning (8), minus graduate player Bryce Golden, and the addition of transfer Ali Ali, along with big man commit Connor Turnball, #Butler Basketball has three scholarships left. Will Matta & Co. use all three, or hold one in their pocket?
