🔼 BIG Addition. The latest piece to the Butler men’s hoops roster is quite literally a BIG addition for the ‘Dawgs.

Late last week, Marko Maric, a 7-0 forward from Croatia, signed with Butler and head coach Ronald Nored. He will join the Bulldogs beginning with the upcoming 2026-27 season.

Maric most recently played for Novi Zagreb in the Croatian Prva Liga. He averaged 9.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, and 1.3 assists per game. He shot 37 percent from three-point range.

He represented his native Croatia in the 2025 FIBA U18 Eurobasket (Division B). He previously played for KK Split and Kosarkaska Akademija Mrav in Croatia.

🏀 More On The Newest ‘Dawg

🔼 Family Night. It was quite a night for the ‘Dawgs on Friday as the Indianapolis Indians hosted Butler Night at the Ballpark.

New head coaches Ronald Nored and Maria Marchesano both stepped up on the hill and tossed the first pitch to kick off a great night at the ballpark!

Don't miss out on the best way for your young Bulldog fan to be a part of the action every game!
