ABOUT THE BULLDOGS
Butler defeated Northern Kentucky 74-56 on Sunday evening behind 14 points from Lily Zeinstra. With the win, Butler improved to 2-2 on the season with the other victory coming against Wright State in BU’s season opener.
Lily Zeinstra leads the BU offense, averaging 14.3 points per game through four games. The sophomore is shooting 55-percent from the floor and 47-percent from beyond the arc. Mallory Miller leads the squad on the glass, pulling down 5.0 rebounds per game.
Butler’s identical Jackson twins, Saniya and Nevaeh, are each averaging 9.5 points per game this season with each registering exactly 11 2-point field goals, three 3-point field goals, and seven made free throws.
Last season Butler defeated IU at Hinkle Fieldhouse for the first time since the 2012-13 season. Caroline Strande (21 points, 8 rebounds) and Sydney Janes (11 points) helped lead Butler to the win a season ago. Back in 2012, BU secured a 59-56 win on Dec. 9 behind 21 points from Daress McClung.
BU ranks in the top 100 nationally in assists per game (15.5, 95th), free throw percentage (77.8, 69th), steals per game (10.5, 88th) and three-point percentage defense (25.0, 89th).
Against Wright State in the season opener, Saniya Jackson recorded six steals in the game. That is the most steals in a game from a Butler player since Kristen Spolyar had six on Feb. 9, 2020 against Villanova. Jackson was two steals short of her career-high, eight.
Freshman Addison Baxter stuffed the stat sheet vs. WSU, dishing out eight assists to go with six points and six rebounds against WSU. Baxter’s eight assists in the contest are the most in a game from a Butler player since Nov. 23, 2021 when Zoe Jackson did it against SIUE.
SCOUTING INDIANA
Shay Ciezki leads the Hoosier offense, averaging 23 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. Ciezki’s best game of the season thus far came against UIC, as the senior poured in 35 points in the contest.
Teri Moren enters her 12th season at the helm of the Hoosiers and is the winningest coach in IU women’s basketball history, boasting a 246-112 record in 11 seasons. Moren has led IU to 10-straight 20-win seasons.
ALL-TIME SERIES
Last season, Butler took down IU at Hinkle Fieldhouse 56-46 behind a game-high 14 points from Caroline Strande.

Butler University Upgrades Iconic Hinkle Fieldhouse with Dynamic LED Video
Technology consultant Anthony James Partners (AJP) provided design, procurement, and construction administration services for the upgrades, supporting Butler in selecting SNA Displays to manufacture and install more than 2,700 square feet of LED video display technology, including a center hung display system, baseline LED ribbons, multiple courtside tables, and other digital signage.
The centerpiece of the project is a new LED center hung display consisting of four curved, 14-foot-tall video screens seamlessly connected to create a continuous 360-degree video surface. Each side features a 4 mm pixel pitch for increased pixel density and clarity. The center hung also includes custom static lettering along the top ring of the structure and a team-branded Bulldog logo facing downward toward the playing surface.
Other video signage includes 3-foot-high LED ribbons along the second-level fascia at both ends of the Fieldhouse, two 19-foot-long vomitory displays between the second and third levels, and eight new courtside mobile scorer’s tables equipped with LED screens. For recruitment and training purposes, the project also features two new ASPECT™ all-in-one 16:9 video screens from SNA Displays in an adjacent practice facility, directly integrated into the new control management system.
