The Butler University mens basketball team hit the court for the first time this season under new head coach LaVall Jordan. Butler fans and students were hyped for the opening of the season. And, as usual, Trip might have stolen the show.
LaVall is ready.
GAMEDAY!!! #GrowDawgs

I’ve felt for the last three weeks this season could end up being a special one for the #Butler Bulldogs. About 70 minutes to tip. #BigEast

Henry doing Henry things to open the season.
Henry Baddley just had the most athletic dunk I’ve seen in Hinkle in years.

Trip came to the game in his many costumes, and Twitter fell in love as expected.
My canine homie Trip is unfadeable so please don’t try to fade him. #GoDawgs
