Butler Bulldogs Men's Basketball History
The Butler University Bulldogs men’s basketball team played their first season in 1896 and competed in various mid-major conferences such as the Missouri Valley Conference and the Horizon League before joining the Big East in 2013. Along with seven conference tournament championships between 1997 and 2011, the Indianapolis-based program has appeared in 16 NCAA tournaments with the Bulldogs making it to the Sweet Sixteen on their first go in 1962.
The team returned to prominence in the mid-’90s under head coach Barry Collier, who guided the Bulldogs to their second NCAA tournament berth in 1997. Coach Brad Stevens led the Bulldogs to five consecutive March Madness appearances between 2007 and 2011, including the team’s historic back-to-back advancements to the National Championship game. The Bulldogs have made it to “The Big Dance” five times since, in 2013 and every year between 2015 to 2018. Currently, Thad Matta is the coach of the Bulldogs.
Butler has served as the home court for two members of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame: Harlan Page, the team’s head coach of six years starting in 1920, and Tony Hinkle, Page’s successor who coached Butler from 1926 to 1942 and 1945 to 1970. Notable alumni players include NBA All-Star Gordon Hayward, Kelan Martin and Shelvin Mack.

Butler Bulldogs at Hinkle Fieldhouse
Hinkle Fieldhouse, the home court of the Butler Bulldogs in Indianapolis, has earned its nickname as “Indiana's Basketball Cathedral” with its lengthy history and distinction as one of the few sports venues in the US to be designated a National Historic Landmark. It also famously is the backdrop to the championship basketball game in the movie “Hoosiers.” Opening in 1928 as Butler Fieldhouse, the facility was the country’s largest basketball arena until 1950. It was renamed in 1966 after the Bulldogs’ head coach Tony Hinkle. While Butler was a member of the Horizon League, Hinkle Fieldhouse hosted several conference tournaments, including the Bulldogs’ championship win in 2010. In 2021, the arena held several semifinal matches in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

The student section always keeps things energized, the band is awesome, and the play on the court was top notch on this day. Great night all around.

by pieker on 1/3/14Hinkle Fieldhouse - IndianapolisButler played theIr butts off and tied it late to send the game into overtime. Unfortunately, some spotty officiating and bad clock management led to a loss by 3. I had a great seat at center court. Parking was kinda difficult though.
