📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Hoop Dreams. With the season openers right around the corner, the Butler basketball programs, along with the rest of the BIG EAST squads, descended upon Madison Square Garden on Tuesday for its annual media day event.

In the annual preseason polls, the men were selected 10th, while the women were slotted ninth.

🔼 California Dreamin’. Last year, he was leading the ‘Dawgs. This year, he’ll be playing with the pros.

This past weekend, Butler alum Jahmyl Telfort signed an NBA two-way contract with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Telfort will split the season between the Clippers and the organization's G League affiliate in San Diego. Players on NBA two-way contracts can play up to 50 games with the NBA team during the season.

Last season, he earned All-BIG EAST Third Team honors during the 2024-25 season. He averaged 16.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.

🔼 And Another One. Butler and Illinois State battled to a tie atop the team standings at the 2025 Dayton Flyer Invitational, continuing the Bulldogs' early-season streak of Top-2 finishes in all of their events thus far.

Butler's Derek Tabor tied for second individually at six-under 207. He carded a three-over 74 Tuesday on the 7,004-yard NCR Country Club South Course in Kettering, Ohio, after Monday rounds of 65 and 68. Logan Sutto and Will Horne also finished in the Top 10, tying for sixth at even par.

The Bulldogs have now posted Top-2 finishes in each of their five events this fall, also taking team titles at the season-opening Golden Grizzlies Intercollegiate along with the Virtues Intercollegiate at the end of September.

🔼 Regional Rumble. The Butler women’s tennis team closed out its fall schedule with the largest event of this time of year, the ITA Ohio Valley Regionals, hosted by the University of Tennessee.

Chase Metcalf, Brooke Arington and Sophie Parr were all among the region’s best with Arington leading the way, earning a singles victory at the event.
