After the coronavirus short circuited last year’s postseason, Aaron Thompson was looking forward to a memorable 2020-21 season, his final one with the Butler Bulldogs.
And when Thompson dropped 21 points and logged four assists in the Dawgs’ season-opening victory over Western Michigan, his optimism for a stellar senior season grew even more.
But then came four straight postponements (thanks a heap, COVID-19) followed by a BIG EAST conference-opening loss at Villanova. To add injury to insult, Thompson also went down in that defeat with a sprained knee which resulted in missing the next five games, including three conference contests.
