The Butler Bulldogs basketball team is gearing up for the 2023-24 season with a revamped roster. They have shown promise in their exhibition games, displaying improved athleticism and outside shooting. However, there are still some burning questions surrounding the team. One major question is who will make up the starting five for the Bulldogs. With only one returning starter from last season, there are several players vying for starting positions. Coach Thad Matta has mentioned a possible starting lineup, but injuries and performance on the court will ultimately determine the final lineup. Another question is whether the team can avoid the injury bug that plagued them last season. While they have a deeper roster this year, they have already experienced some injuries. Overcoming injuries will be crucial for the team’s success. Additionally, the Bulldogs are in need of a breakout player who can elevate their game. Without any players receiving preseason All-Big East honors, someone will need to step up and become a standout player. Several players have shown potential in exhibition play, including Connor Turnbull and Pierre Brooks II. The team will also face a tough stretch of nonconference games, including matchups against Michigan State and Texas Tech. How they fare in these games will be a good indicator of their performance for the rest of the season. Finally, the Bulldogs will be looking to improve their offensive output from last season. Making more three-pointers and increasing the pace of play will be key factors in boosting their scoring. Overall, the Bulldogs have a lot of potential heading into the season, but there are still some uncertainties that need to be addressed.
