In the HRC, deep into the night, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. A friend had some surprising news: Butler basketball open tryouts. Tomorrow.
Butler basketball tryouts? Tomorrow? The club basketball team?
No, Butler men’s basketball had open tryouts on Oct. 4.
Their first open tryouts were held in 2014, and back then, Trey Pettus made the team. The year before, Pettus was Butler club basketball’s leading scorer. Butler currently has two walk-ons, junior guard Campbell Donovan and redshirt freshman Mike Parker.
