Hinkle Fieldhouse Special Beyond Basketball For Butler Senior Tyler Lewis

... one jersey. Tyler wears number one. Ali has supported Tyler since high school. "She knows how much basketball means to me,” said Lewis in a postgame interview on his Senior Day. “She wants it just as much as I do, but she doesn't get mad at all about basketball. If I have a bad game, she's like 'Oh, where we going to dinner?". “If he wants to talk about it, I'm there for him,” said Burgess in a pregame interview at Hinkle Fieldhouse. “I played basketball in high school, so I definitely know the game. I'm just more of a listener when it comes to basketball. If he doesn't want to talk about it, I don't bring it up because that already consumes his life so much that I just try to focus on the things that surround him that aren't basketball, because he's so much more.”. Tyler and Ali started dating seriously in high school in Statesville, North Carolina. They went to Chick-fil-A on their first date. Ali ordered a kids meal and Tyler bought. But their relationship began long before that. “Tyler and I actually met in middle school and we dated in 7 th grade for two weeks,” said Burgess. He was my first ever Valentine.".

Firing Butler Was A Tough Call, But The Correct One

... fluctuate from halfway decent to poor from season to season, and this season was one of the worst of all. The Gators finished 15-16, missing any form of postseason play. While this wasn’t the worst record achieved under Butler’s watch, it was especially disappointing given the team went 22-9 the season before. Much of the drop off can be attributed to the loss of two key players: guards Simone Westbrook and Eleanna Christinaki. Westbrook tore her ACL before the season and left the Gators with a thin bench. Christinaki, meanwhile, transferred to Maryland. The team said the reason was that she refused to accept a half-game suspension for a “violation of team culture,” with Butler saying that she “abandoned” her teammates. Westbrook’s injury obviously can’t be blamed on Butler, and Christinaki’s departure probably can’t be (at least in full), either. It was a bad situation for sure, but she's not the first coach to face injuries. The fact remains that Butler produced a losing record at a place where losing records are unacceptable. Looking at UF’s women’s basketball program compared to its other programs, the only comparable ones ...

NEW YORK – If there is anything Butler has proved in the NCAA basketball tournament, it's this: It matters how you play, not where you are seeded. Since 2003, the Bulldogs have reached four Sweet 16 s and two national championship games, and never have they been seeded among the top 16 overall. Never have they built a resume as ...

Butler Snuffs Out Middle Tennessee’s Upset Bid

... helped them keep the Blue Raiders at arm’s length all night. Illinois gets savvy by poaching Brad Underwood from Oklahoma State. 2. Kamar Baldwin and Kethan Savage silenced Giddy Potts. Potts, the Blue Raiders’ starting point guard, averaged 15.8 points per game heading into the second-round tilt with Butler. Foul trouble limited him to just 23 minutes in the first-round win over Minnesota on Thursday, but he still scored 15 points. In our pregame breakdown of Saturday’s matchup, we said the Blue Raiders would not be able to pull the upset without a big game from their star point guard. Potts was held completely off the scoreboard, going 0 for 7 overall, and 0 for 3 from distance. Butler freshman point guard Kamar Baldwin, playing in the second NCAA tournament game of his life, absolutely shut down the electric Potts, drawing primary duty on him during his 32 minutes. Not only did he hold Potts completely in check, he did it without drawing a foul. Meanwhile, redshirt senior Kethan Savage provided reinforcements, guarding Potts when Baldwin was getting a rest, and occasionally giving him a break from Potts ...

This Is March, And This Is How Butler Wins

... room, asking him about Baldwin. Johnson was nodding his head. He’d given Baldwin all the respect in the world after the game, bringing the handshake line to a standstill to give Baldwin a hug, and now he was about to give him a little bit more. “He did a great job on me,” Johnson said. “Quick, long. He’s a great defender.”. Baldwin didn’t do it alone. He played 34 minutes and spent every one of them on Johnson, but when Baldwin left the game, Kethan Savage inherited Johnson and made the Winthrop star struggle some more. As for Baldwin, I pointed out the stat box to him. Showed him his point total: Seven, it said. Asked him how he felt about that, knowing — believe me, I knew — what he would say. “I didn’t care if I scored a point,” he said. “We’re just trying to win the game. Whatever I can do to help, I’m going to do.”. Which brings me to senior point guard Tyler Lewis. This guy blew the game open in the second half. After leading by as many as 19 points, the Butler margin was down to single digits when Lewis came into the game with 13:54 to play. Butler was leading 53-43 ...

State College Boys’ Basketball Season Over After Falling To Butler In Ot

... him. “The times we shared and the things we’ve done, wouldn’t trade it for the world.”. The Little Lions enjoyed a banner season, capturing the program’s first-ever Mid Penn championship, winning the District 6 championship and earning State College’s first state playoff win since 2009. Sekunda scored 14 points for State College (21-5), Ryan Mc Nulty added 11 and Drew Friberg finished with 10. The Little Lions overcame a nine-point deficit in the third quarter and forced overtime, but Butler earned the win, thanks to a pair of free throws by Ethan Morton. After Tommy Friberg scored the first point of overtime with 1:02 left on a free throw to give State College a 50-49 lead, Butler point guard Ethan Morton drew a foul on a drive and went to the line. He knocked down both free throws with 27.8 seconds left to push Butler ahead 51-50. Butler ran its offense through Morton in the extra period, with State College’s Keaton Ellis constantly trying to deny him a chance to touch the ball. “It’s odd to say you rely on a freshman point ...

MILWAUKEE – Avery Woodson, a Mississippi native, is so cold in Milwaukee that he wore a parka to a pregame news conference held inside a warm basketball arena. At least his teammates did not mock him for that. “They know where I’m from,” he said. “I’m not used to this cold weather. They had no problem with me wearing that jacket.”. To make himself comfortable, Woodson heated up the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Thursday. He sank five of his six 3-pointers in the first half, and No. 4 seed Butler went on to defeat No. 13 seed Winthrop 76-64 in the first round of the NCAA South Regional. Woodson, a graduate transfer playing in his ...
