📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Tonight’s The Night. For the first time in over 30 years, Notre Dame basketball will step foot on the Hinkle Fieldhouse courts to square off against the Butler men’s hoops team in tonight’s exhibition.

Tonight’s contest starts a two-year agreement as Notre Dame will host an exhibition in South Bend between the two programs at the beginning of the 2026-27 season.

Tip-off is set for 7 pm!

🔼 Among The Elite. Later today, the Butler men’s cross country squad will lace them up against some of the best teams in the country at the Nuttycombe Invitational in Wisconsin.

This week, the Bulldogs moved up three spots to #12 in the latest top-25 and will line it up against 18 of the top-30 squads in the nation in today’s race.

🔼 Weekend Work. Another weekend full of action for our Bulldogs with eight different Butler programs in competition.

Other than tonight’s men’s hoops game, the women’s soccer squad is the only team at home this weekend when they battle Seton Hall tomorrow night at 7 pm at the Sellick Bowl.

Football is back on the road for a critical PFL matchup at Dayton (Saturday at 12pm), volleyball has road showdowns at DePaul (tonight at 8 pm) and at Marquette (tomorrow at 7 pm), while the men’s soccer team puts their win streak on the line tonight at Xavier.
