From prolific scorers to bench leaders, seniors leave final mark in Indianapolis

INDIANAPOLIS — As a senior, Butler’s Nick Rodgers scored six of the team’s 2,374 points. He made one start for the Bulldogs and averages 1.2 minutes per game. And although this walk-on guard from Noblesville, Ind. has grabbed no rebounds this year and hasn’t attempted a free throw, Bulldogs starter Ronald Nored said Rodgers is just as much a part of the team’s historic Final Four run as anyone else.

Out of Left Field

·

Louisville outfielder Kyle Grieshaber probably didn’t think much of the small seating area behind him in left field prior to Tuesday’s game against the IU baseball team. But afterwards, the freshman surely knew about “Tracy’s Terrace,” thanks to about 15 people stationed along the Sembower Field fence, just yards from where he stood.
