After a second straight appearance in the NCAA Division I national championship game, Butler basketball returns to MyINDY-TV 23.
For the fourth season in a row, MyINDY-TV brings Butler Bulldog basketball to local television viewers with a minimum of 14 game broadcasts from Hinkle Fieldhouse and on the road.
Butler returns eight letter winners from last year’s 28-10 squad. Last season, the Bulldogs captured the Horizon League regular season and tournament championships and won the Diamond Head Classic in Hawaii. Butler’s NCAA Tournament run included a championship in the Southeast Region and second straight appearance in the Final Four and a second consecutive national runner-up finish.
Jeff White, president and general manager of MyINDY-TV 23 and WISH-TV, said, “MyINDY-TV 23 is pleased to welcome Butler basketball back for a fourth season. Once again, we’re providing fans this front row seat experience in high definition.”
“We’re excited to continue our partnership with MyINDY-TV 23,” said Brad Stevens, Butler head coach. “Our fans appreciate having at least 12 games televised locally again this season.”
Stevens heads into his fifth season as Butler’s head coach. He sits on top of the list for best basketball coaching starts in NCAA history. A two-time Horizon League Coach of the Year, he has guided the Bulldogs to 117 wins in his career; breaking the previous four-year NCAA Division I record of 107 wins. He also holds the NCAA three-year record with 89 victories.
Anthony Calhoun, News 8 sports director, will provide game play-by-play, with longtime Butler basketball radio color commentator, Ralph Reiff, providing analysis.
