Special to IndyStar
In a practice during Christmas break, the Butler men’s basketball team had a free-throw shooting contest. In the first two rounds, sink the shot and advance. In the next rounds, the shot had to swish to advance.
By the end, there were three players left: junior forward Jordan Tucker, junior forward Bryce Nze and…
Joe Rowan? More on him in a second, but first the competition.
Tucker missed.
Nze missed.
Rowan swished.
“He's an Indiana basketball player,” senior forward Sean McDermott, who is from Pendleton, Indiana, told his teammates about Rowan, who is from Fort Wayne.
