A win for Independence could give them a good shot at 2 home games, or more, in the playoff seeding process. I'm not sure a win for Butler will benefit them much in seeding.

Probably not, but it is a rivalry game. I was overly confident Butler would roll Indy in the playoffs last year and I was wrong. Never say never.

I didn’t want the Indy matchup last year because its tough to beat a good team twice especially a rival.

To answer the question it depends on if we get everyone back from a health perspective. Even if healthy it’s a tough task because I am not a believer in the coaching staff. Not that they can’t coach I don’t think it’s a good fit.

Crazy that Butler went from a possible championship contender to possibly missing the playoffs.

That wasn’t on my bingo card for sure.

On one hand the new staff dealt with limited time to practice, a few departures and injuries with a stiff schedule.

The other hand this team was one of the worst prepared Butler teams and very undisciplined given the talent they had.

I feel if Hales and his staff stayed this is easily a playoff team and a contender not necessarily a favorite. I blame Butler administration for not hiring from within as they have done previously. I always thought Ferebee was a good coach who was given a Ferrari in Chambers and was told not to crash it. Hales took some Butler teams that had less talent than this team and made them a tough out and a playoff team. I just think its a bad fit in my opinion
