Four of Butler’s starters circle up in the team’s final exhibition game. The Bulldogs will open their season at home on Nov. 10 against Kennesaw State.
Butler basketball‘s 86-79 win in their final exhibition game was never destined to be easy. The matchup against Lincoln Memorial, a team coming off a Division II Final Four bid last season and runner-up in the 2016 championship game, was just the opponent Butler needed before kicking their season off next week.
Bulldog fans experienced a brief period of unease in the final four minutes of play after Lincoln Memorial closed the deficit to four points.
