PROGRAM OVERVIEW

**Butler Bulldogs Women's Basketball**

Indianapolis' Butler University, established in 1855 with an enrollment of 5,763 students, competes in the Big East Conference with women's basketball games hosted at the historic Hinkle Fieldhouse. Coach Austin Parkinson leads a 12-player roster through a season marked by significant home-court advantages, evidenced by the team's 8-7 home record against a challenging 1-10 away mark through their 9-17 overall campaign. The Bulldogs score 62.0 points per game defensively while yielding 65.7 points to opponents, indicating a competitive defensive philosophy in one of college basketball's most demanding leagues.

Conference play has proven particularly competitive, with the squad holding a 3-9 Big East record as the season progresses. The stark contrast between home stability and road struggles—a 7-game differential between home and away wins—suggests Parkinson's squad has built chemistry and comfort within Hinkle Fieldhouse's walls while adjusting to the travel demands required across Big East opponents. With 12 athletes on the roster, the program emphasizes depth and player development in a conference that includes nationally prominent women's basketball programs.
