Club Sports on April 4, 2016 The Butler Club Basketball team will be competing in a 12-team tournament at Purdue this upcoming weekend that is dubbed as a “prep tournament” for nationals, which is just 3 weeks away. The Dawgs have mustered a .500 record in the second half of the season thus far after tournaments at Missouri and their Regional tournament at Illinois. Purdue’s tournament (April 9,10) figures to be a good measuring stick for Butler before they head to Nationals at Ohio State.
After not traveling to the national tournament last season, the Dawgs will be returning once again, this time at Ohio State University. There will be 32 teams in the field and the Dawgs are looking to end their season on the highest of notes, a national championship.
