Agree completely...they are basically the equivalent of past Princeton squads, except with marginally better offense. They don't beat themselves, and everything is designed around execution, making the whole product, the team, greater than any of it's individual parts. Is it the most exciting to watch? Hell no. But I think you have to appreciate what they do and how well they do it, against many good teams. And I agree about Wisconsin...if there is any team in America from a POWER conference that could out-Butler Butler, you would think it is Wisconsin. They're basically the same style team, but with perceived "better" players. Butler played outstanding defense, looking like the Butler D of last year's tournament. Was very impressed again last night. Florida might beat them, but they're not going to help out. They're going to make the Gators go out and beat them, and if Florida starts making mistakes, Butler will smell blood. I think this might be the best game of the elite 8, regardless of who wins tonight to set up the rest of the 8 teams.
