Butler Bulldogs vs. St. Johns Red Storm

Butler Bulldogs vs. St. Johns Red Storm at Hinkle Fieldhouse

The first Sunday of January comes with a reminder that the holidays aren't the only thing worth gathering for. St. John's is coming to Butler's home floor. On January 3, 2027, the Bulldogs face the Red Storm at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, with a 5:00 PM tipoff and a BIG EAST matchup to pull fans out of their usual weekend routine.

Conference basketball has its own personality. Each defensive switch, rebounding battle and possession after a timeout carries more weight when the opponent is another league team. From inside Hinkle, you can follow those details, hear the benches react and feel the building respond to a Butler run. There's also a reason for Bulldogs fans to keep a close eye on this particular season: Ronald Nored is in his first year as head coach. You can see how Nored’s Bulldogs handle the Red Storm up close, from their off-ball movement to the response after a tough defensive possession. And facing the Red Storm gives Butler another genuine BIG EAST test.

Turn the last stretch of the holiday break into an evening together. Bring a friend back in town, meet family at Hinkle or make a game night out of the first January Sunday. It's a better story than saying you spent the whole weekend indoors. Get your Butler vs. St. John's tickets at Hinkle Fieldhouse and give the Bulldogs your support in person.
