🔼 Connect Four. The dynamic duo was at it once again on Tuesday night.

Finley Bizjack poured in a near career-high 29 points and Michael Ajayi registered his seventh double-double in eight games as the Butler men’s hoops squad picked up their fourth straight win, 84-68, over Eastern Michigan.

Bizjack went 10-of-14 from the field, including a career-best six 3-pointers, while Ajayi finished with 19 points and 13 rebounds.

🔼 Accolades Aplenty. The 2025 season may be over, but for the Butler football squad, the accolades are still rolling in.

On Tuesday, 17 total Bulldogs were recognized, including Charles Mackley and Devaon Holman on the All-PFL First Team and Ethan Loss and Ryan Short on the All-PFL Second Team.

Trey Alsbrooks, Reagan Andrew, Mason Armstrong, Kirk Doskocil, Tyson Garrett, Luke Green, Jeremiah Jackson, Ethan Loss (return specialist), Will Mason, Onye Onuoha, Danny Orgler, Brady Preston, Jackson Stratton and CJ Wilson Jr. were the Bulldogs that earned honorable mention honors.

🔼 Roll Call. Thanksgiving leftovers weren’t the only things from last week that the Butler hoops program are still enjoying.

On Monday, a pair of Bulldogs earned spots on the BIG EAST weekly honor roll.

For the women, Lily Zeinstra earned a spot after averaging 15.5 points, 4.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals in Butler’s trip to the Fort Myers Tip-Off.

On the men’s side, Michael Ajayi continued his red-hot start to the 2025-26 season with a 20-point, eight rebound, four assist outing in Butler’s win over Wright State to earn a spot on the honor roll.

🔼 What They’re Saying. The Ian Sarachan era is officially underway for the Butler men’s soccer program and the new leader of the ‘Dawgs has drawn praise from all across the soccer community.
