I can't really complain. IU got it done.

Classy, Laley (an IU fan), was on the same side of the argument...

And I would even give Izzo the coaching advantage over Cal...

For purists of the game, Butler and Indiana would be a dream matchup in the Final Four. Especially with how well each can get out and score.

I think Indiana has the better team. Definitely deeper. Kentucky has the best and maybe 2nd best on the court. Arguable with Yogi. But after that? Next 5 best have to be Indiana.

Anyway, great game. Sucks it was round 2. OG is a fucking stud.

I think they lose by 15+. For some reason I think Providence has a shot and gives unc a game at minimum tonight.

I'll be on a high until unc destroys us lol. Either way, this win and the B1G title makes me very happy. Great season for Indiana. Everything else truly is gravy.

This reminds me when Kansas was up on UNC like 40-12 of whatever it was

Ben Bentil will determine the entire game IMO. Carolina is notoriously undisciplined at guarding bigs who can pick and pop.

Meanwhile, Butler is on the verge of sending the first number one seed home. Andrew Chrabascz looks like Gordon Hayward. Dude has 24 points on 9-of-11 shooting, including netting all four of his threes. We're looking at the next Butler star.

Butler was one of the more fun offensive teams of this season. But, tonight, showing they can still play the same way as before. Grinding versus Virginia. I think they get it done.

Virginia should be given the death penalty for boring all of us.

I sure hope so. I hate Virginia almost as much as you used to hate Wisconsin. I don't know what it is, if it's their style of play or there colors or what. I just don't like watching them. I feel the same way about Pitt.

Virginia's edge at the point guard position will probably prove the difference maker in this one. Brogdon is just relentless.

UConn will need Yale's playbook on how to get back in the game...though Kansas is way better than Duke

Not hard to do when you wait until the defense decides to take a nap before taking a shot.

Fuck Virginia. I hope Iowa State forces the tempo and packs their fucking bags for them.

Sorry, I think the UVA/Butler 2nd half was a great watch. Making shots!

A good win for UVA. Hard to ever root against Butler
