Out for Crown Telfort (pro draft prep) is out for the 2025 College Basketball Crown, according to Butler's announcement Monday.

Impact Butler's 2024-25 team failed to qualify for March Madness 2025 and this year's National Invitational Tournament. Butler accepted an invitation to the College Basketball Crown, a newly created 16-team tournament at Paradise. But to focus on his pro career, Telfort will be out for the tournament. As a redshirt senior, he logged 16.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.3 three-pointers made per game.

Drops another 20-point game Telfort had 20 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 91-78 loss to Xavier.

Impact Even in the eventual blowout to the Musketeers, Telfort logged a complete game. The senior forward logged his 11th game of the season with 20 or more points, and he tied his season-best of two blocks. He's started every game so far for the Bulldogs this year, and he'll look to close out his regular season career with another as Butler travels to Creighton this Saturday.

MARCH 1 • Associated Press

All-around effort Telfort posted 20 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 76-63 loss to Xavier.

Impact Butler snapped a relatively surprising three-game winning streak Tuesday, but Telfort still put forth a solid all-around stat line that surpassed his season-long averages in scoring and rebounding. While the fifth-year senior has improved across the board this year and been a solid fantasy asset, it's still far from enough to position Thad Matta's squad for an NCAA Tournament berth.

Butler faces Georgetown following Telfort's 24-point outing

Butler takes on the Georgetown Hoyas after Jahmyl Telfort scored 24 points in the Bulldogs' 78-69 loss to the Marquette Golden Eagles

JANUARY 30 • Associated Press

Puts up 24 in defeat Telfort finished Tuesday's 78-69 loss to Marquette with 24 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 11-11 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes.

Impact Telfort's scoring can be a bit inconsistent at times, but he seems to have his best performances when the competition gets tough, as in addition to Tuesday, he had 25 points against UConn on Jan. 21 and 25 more against Villanova back on Jan. 1. Unfortunately, Butler has fallen short in each of those matchups and drops to 2-8 in Big East play after Tuesday's loss.

JANUARY 24 • Associated Press

Scoring trending downward Telfort logged 10 points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 82-77 victory over Seton Hall.

Impact Telfort remains Butler's scoring leader at 15.2 ppg, but he's now failed to hit that average in three of his last four games. Even with a tough matchup against UConn on tap, Telfort remains one of Butler's most reliable fantasy options due to his all-around production.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Draws 23 points in tough loss Telfort racked up 23 points (8-20 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-8 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 71-68 loss to North Dakota State.

Impact After a season-low four points in the previous loss to Houston, Telfort ramped up his offensive production even in the Bulldogs' second straight loss. The senior forward has been a huge proponent of Butlers' offense so far this season, keeping the team within three or propelling a win in all the games he's scored 20 or more points.
