I would put all the answers, but I'll just put the ones I knew before checking wikipedia...

I remembered that the seating capacity went from around 14K to 11 K, but don't remember exactly.

Hoosier Helmet is against Valpo.

Last 4 coaches: Barry Collier (current AD), Thad Matta (1 year of course...), Todd Lickliter, and Brad Stevens

Scott Drew of Baylor was the alumnus opponent.

Not sure on the championships, but I'm gonna say a long time ago (even before UD's glory days...)

wow, Jimmy Jones attended Butler.

Of course I would consider Hitler more evil than Jones. But it's close.
