Disagree...no way was Butler the second best team last year

I watched about half of it in total, I kept flipping back and forth. The game was a snoozer. It didn't mean anything and Uconn sucked. It wasn't a game.

If it "meant something", the game would still have sucked. Would that have changed how you watched it?

I'll take the objective over the subjective every time. Unless you go to the "on paper" crap, no one has a better case.

Yeah I would have been inclined to watch it because my team could have potentially squared off with them later in the playoffs. It's just hard to stay interested in a bloodbath when at the end of the game the winning team gets a "thanks for playing" trophy.

TCU agrees. 13-0 and the road ends.
