Are YOU a Bulldog? Basketball Trivia
So, my big project of the last few months finally came to life today! We tried out a new program for the Student Foundation (BUSF) called Triple Threat, which was basically a BUSF-sponsored basketball game that included three generations of Butler: alumni, current students and prospectives. We had a BUSF reunion lunch for all the alumni who used to be in our organization, and we also had about 25 prospective students from the central Indiana area join us (hello and thanks for coming, if any of you are reading this!) They sat in the Dawg Pound with BUSFers to get the real feel of being a Butler student cheering on the Bulldogs. The part of the event I was most involved in was planning some of the time-out games... it's crazy how much preparation goes into everything happening at a basketball game. I have so much respect for Butler Sports Marketing now!!
Anyway, one of the games I created was a Butler Basketball trivia contest, based off of the popular one currently circulating facebook (I am currently an Apprentice with 960 points haha...how about you?) I thought I would post my questions here for you all to take a try at!
Put your answers in a comment, and in a few days I'll post the real answers, as well as who was closest.
