The Butler University women’s basketball team will open the 2016-17 season in Hinkle Fieldhouse with an exhibition game on Oct. 30 against Hanover College.

The first regular season game is just over two weeks away, and all is calm within Hinkle. Members of the young team know differently. For them, preparation for the upcoming season began months ago.

Sophomore guard Alexa Bailey said getting into “basketball shape” is essential to success early in the season.
