🖥️ COMING TO A SCREEN NEAR YOU
This week, Butler unveiled the game times and national exposure for the upcoming 2026-27 basketball campaigns.
The upcoming season marks the second of a six-year BIG EAST media agreement, which will span through 2030-31, encompassing coverage on FOX Sports (FOX, FS1), NBC Sports (NBC, Peacock), and TNT Sports (TNT, TBS and truTV).
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Title Touting. Now that’s how you defend your home turf.
The Butler women’s golf squad secured their second straight team and individual titles at this week’s Butler Fall Invitational. The ‘Dawgs set a new record-low for the team's overall score, with it now standing at 16-over after 54 holes.
Freshman Rachel Johnson brought home the individual award this week, earning her first collegiate win with a even par 210 to pace the field.
Treva Dodd and Addi Kooi each posted even-par 70s to lead Butler in the final round, earning third and fourth place finishes respectively.
🔼 What A Gem. Junior defender Gemma Gillespie did a little bit of everything last week for the Butler women’s soccer team.
Helping the Bulldogs to an unbeaten week in league action, Gillespie was named the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week.
Gillespie anchored Butler's defensive line for 150 minutes in a 1-0-1 week for the ‘Dawgs, as that unit was key to the resulting 0-0 shutout at Seton Hall. At DePaul, the center back produced a brace, scoring the second goal along with the game-winning goal in a span of just over five minutes in a 3-2 victory.
🔼 Give ‘Em Some Moore. For the first time in her career, the BIG EAST has selected Butler junior Hannah Moore as the women's cross country Athlete of the Week.
Moore placed 48th overall in the Blue Race at the Joe Piane Notre Dame Invitational Friday morning. She clocked a time of 17:09.9 as she navigated the 5k Burke Golf Course in South Bend, Ind.
She was the Bulldogs' top finisher for the second time in two races this season. Friday's performance came against a strong national field.
🔼 Back For More. Butler Men's Basketball is back on the airwaves of 93.5/107.5 The Fan as part of a multi-year agreement previously announced by Butler Athletics and Radio One.
Mark Minner and Nick Gardner will return as the broadcast pairing for the upcoming 2026-27 season. Minner will handle play-by-play duties for the 14th consecutive season alongside Gardner, who enters his 21st season as the Bulldogs' analyst.
🔼 Two-For-One Special. Who doesn’t love a good deal, right?
Tonight is exactly that as Butler fans will have a busy Wednesday night, with both volleyball and women’s soccer hosting crucial BIG EAST matchups at 7 p.m.
Volleyball welcomes rival Xavier to Hinkle Fieldhouse for a “Black Out” match. Butler split its two-match East Coast trip last weekend, sweeping Seton Hall before falling to St. John’s, and now returns to a Hinkle Fieldhouse floor where it opened conference play with impressive victories over Villanova and Georgetown last month.
Just down the road at the Bud and Jackie Sellick Bowl, Butler women’s soccer hosts St. John’s in another important BIG EAST matchup. The Bulldogs enter Wednesday with momentum after earning a 3-2 road victory over DePaul on Saturday, extending their unbeaten start to conference play after draws against Marquette and Seton Hall.
Both matches are set to begin at 7 p.m. and will be available on ESPN+,
