2023-24 Non-Conference Schedule

Butler has finalized the non-conference portion of its 2023-24 men's basketball schedule.
 
The slate includes nine opportunities to witness the Bulldogs in non-conference action at Hinkle Fieldhouse prior to all 10 BIG EAST rivals coming to Indianapolis later in the season.
 
Match-ups that had not previously been announced include season-opening exhibitions against Ohio Northern Oct. 28 as part of Butler's Homecoming Weekend and a Nov. 1 match-up against Franklin College.
 
Butler will also host Buffalo Dec. 5 and Saginaw Valley State Dec. 15.
 
The game times and television assignments for the non-conference portion of the schedule will be announced at a later date. The BIG EAST Conference schedule is expected to be released in September.
 
Non-conference schedule highlights include the 2023 ESPN Events Invitational in Orlando, home games against California and Texas Tech (as part of the BIG EAST-Big 12 Battle), and a road game at Michigan State as part of the Gavitt Tip-Off Games.

The Bulldogs are joined in the eight-team ESPN Events Invitational field by Boise State, Florida Atlantic, Iowa State, Penn State, Texas A&M, VCU, and Virginia Tech. Six of those teams were part of the 2023 NCAA Tournament. The tournament bracket, game times and television assignments will be announced soon.

Thad Matta returned to his alma mater to lead the Butler basketball program in April of 2022. His 2023-24 roster will feature 10 newcomers, including five transfers who averaged double figures last season for their previous team.
 
Season tickets for the 2023-24 Butler Basketball season are on sale now. The home schedule will feature an increase to 19 games this season, highlighted by all 10 BIG EAST rivals visiting Hinkle.
