What a way to show your loyalty to your college basketball program.

Butler point guard Tyler Lewis averaged 5.9 points and 2.8 assists in his first year as a Bulldog, and he’s got one more season of eligibility remaining. But now, Hinkle Fieldhouse will serve as an amazing memory for Lewis for reasons other than basketball.

Lewis proposed to his girlfriend at center court on Friday, and she said yes.

Something different for me this evening at Hinkle Fieldhouse. Had the pleasure of documenting Butler Bulldogs guard Tyler Lewis proposal to his girlfriend at midcourt. I have seen Tyler make some great moves on this floor but this was his best move. Congrats Tyler and Ali. @butlermbb @ty1ewis #hinklefieldhouse

Congratulations to Tyler and his fiancé. An awesome moment in a historic venue.

Joe Boozell has been a college basketball writer for NCAA.com since 2015. His work has also appeared in Bleacher Report, FOXSports.com and NBA.com. Joe’s claim to fame since joining NCAA.com: he’s predicted the correct national championship game twice… and picked the wrong winner both times. Growing up, Joe squared off against both Anthony Davis and Frank Kaminsky in the Chicagoland basketball scene. You can imagine how that went.
