Butler, IU alumni teams to play in 2025 The Basketball Tournament at Hinkle Fieldhouse
The Basketball Tournament will return to Hinkle Fieldhouse in July.
All Good Dawgs, the Butler University alumni team, and Assembly Ball, the Indiana University alumni team, will return to the eight-team Indianapolis regional hosted by Butler, according to a release. The 64-team, $1 million winner-take-all event will return to Hinkle on July 18-23 for the regional.
'There is nothing better than experiencing basketball at iconic Hinkle Fieldhouse,' Butler vice president and athletic director Grant Leiendecker said. 'The return of the TBT to Hinkle once again provides our great fans with the opportunity to support some of their favorite Bulldogs through the All Good Dawgs team. We're excited to welcome the event back to Hinkle in July.'

All Good Dawgs, which featured Shelvin Mack and Sean McDermott in 2024, advanced to the second round. They eventually lost to Eberlein Drive. The winner of the $1 million prize last year was Carmen's Crew, which consisted of Ohio State alumni.
'We love Hinkle Fieldhouse,' TBT founder and CEO Jon Mugar said. 'Our event is modeled after the Indiana high school tournament featured in 'Hoosiers,' which was a seminal movie in my childhood. We look forward to seeing Butler and Indiana alumni teams taking the floor this July.'
Assembly Ball, which featured Yogi Ferrell, Race Thompson and Juwan Morgan, debuted at TBT in 2024. They defeated The Cru (Valparaiso alumni) and Men of Mackey (Purdue alumni) before losing to Eberlein Drive in the regional championship game.
