INDIANAPOLIS — Butler basketball fans will get their first look at the 2026-27 team when the Bulldogs host an exhibition against Indiana State at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
The first game of the Ronald Nored era will be Oct. 10. The start time has not been announced, but it will follow an afternoon Butler football game at the Sellick Bowl. The exhibition against the Sycamores will be the first of three exhibition games the Dawgs will play in October.
The exhibition joins nonconference games against Lafayette (Nov. 2), Fairleigh Dickinson (Nov. 4), Western Carolina (Nov. 17) and Bellarmine (Nov. 27) on Butler's schedule. The date for Butler's nonconference against North Carolina, part of a home-and-home with the Tar Heels, has not yet been announced.
Indiana State returns to Hinkle after the teams played an exhibition last season. Butler alum Matthew Graves is in his third season as ISU's coach. Graves did not coach the Sycamores at Hinkle last season as he recovered from triple bypass surgery.
Nored and Graves are two of the four Bulldog alums currently leading NCAA Division I programs, joining Baylor's Scott Drew and Miami (Ohio)'s Travis Steele.
