They have given Butler every single advantage they could and handed them two games(Pitt and Florida)

Butler will get beat by 30 or 40 by Kansas

Atleast we made it farther than Ohio State

Anyone who doesn't have a black, heartless soul is happy with that result. Great game, and Butler's past two seasons are truly one of the great sports stories of all-time.

Gonzaga has been to the Sweet Sixteen four times and the Elite Eight once. Butler just made their second straight Final Four. Gonzaga wishes they could carry Butler's jock.

Kansas wouldn't be able to beat Butler by 40 since Butler plays a down-tempo offense and suck the life out of the basketball. They might lose, but not by very many points.

Seriously hard to believe that it's Butler going back to the FF and NOT the Dookies.

Kansas better beat VCU or they won't get the chance.

Ha ha....your funny

If anyone here doesnt believe the NCAA is doing everything they can to get Butler back to the Title game, you're fooling yourself.

Whoever plays Butler better come in knowing that you have to beat them AND the NCAA

In the last five minutes of regulation plus the OT foul shooting:

......reg... OT
Fla 1/2 + 5/8 = 6/10
But 3/4 + 6/6 = 9/10

If Butler would have made the only one they missed, it would have resulted in the same situation that ensued in the OT - Fla down one with shot clock off.

The NCAA forced Donovan to coach like he did down the stretch? Horrible shots taken, I don't know how you can blame anyone other than Donovan and his team for losing. You really are mentally challenged.

EDIT: also, it is you're not your.

This +1.

The way the NCAA got the ball to magically bounce right to Matt Howard as time ran out against ODU was my favorite. Could they make their agenda any more obvious?

Convincing Pitt to maul Howard when they had no reason to even be lined up in the lane was another diabolical stroke of genius.

Is that why they called those two touch fouls on Butler way out on the perimeter late in the shot clock in OT and late in regulation? So Fla could miss FTs?

You're right, selection committee president and OSU athletic director Gene Smith arranged it so that his school would loose in the Sweet Sixteen and Butler would have a cake walk to the Final Four.
