Historic Hinkle

Final scrimmage observation: each player without fail walked up into the seats to greet visitors and shake hands on their way out. Ron Nored emphasized he was vetting guys who could fit the Butler culture—think he’s got ‘em. #GoDawgs

🗣️ “DAWGS!!” High energy level at scrimmage with lots of talk/communication. Quicker pace of play is an obvious emphasis. Gonna be fun to watch this team develop! #GoDawgs

Summer sunlight at Hinkle hits different!☀️Never on the court during the season. Fun to see the new @butlermbb playing “real” ball (with refs!)🐶🏀

“Just stepping onto the court and feeling like we knew we could win”—Travis Trice on IU v BU ‘93 Here’s @ButlerMBB great Travis Trice with a BTS on Butler’s ‘93 win over IU at Hinkle. Travis had a game high 24 points—21 coming on 3s! Also made 2 FTs to clinch the win. #HistoricHinkle

More Hinkle Magic like in ‘93 ? 75-71 win over 11th ranked IU was arguably the game that was the catalyst for believing in Butler and all that came after! #HistoricHinkle #HinkleMagic

Really beautiful work! Hinkle is inspiring!✨

Come home to Hinkle, Christian! No place like it!

There’s truly no place like Hinkle Fieldhouse. As James Naismith said: “Basketball really had its origin in Indiana, which remains the center of the sport". 100 years later it’s still true. #HistoricHinkle

Pitt game in ‘11 was craziest BU game ever—heart stopped more than once! 2.2: “We won!!!” 1.4: “We might lose!!!” *Shelvin chats up Gilbert* 1:4: “We’re tied!!!” 0.8: “We might win!!!” *Matt hits first, intentionally misses 2nd* 0.0: “Were going to the Sweet Sixteen!!!” ➡️Jump ahead to 11:50⬇️ youtube.com/watch?v=ku9Ohu…
