Never saw this coming. My WTOL Channel 11 bracket just died. And I could've won it, too.

The Butler coach looks like he is 20 years old.

Just keep calling timeouts and fouling so we don't have to watch the end of WVU/Washington.

Syracuse just collapsed, leading 54-50 with possession of the ball.
Butler executed perfectly down the stretch and 'Cuse didn't...at all.
Unbelievable.

Thank you Butler. The love affair with the Cuse on this website can now end.

I really liked Butler coming in and thought they had a shot, but I thought Syracuse was better than this. I guess not.

I agree with that. They just never struck me as having "it". Didn't think they'd lose this one though.SportsAndLady wrote: (no offense ewok) just never saw anything special in this Syracuse team.

Another #1 goes down. It will be three number 1's when Kentucky loses to Cornell tonight.

Butler just stayed calm and patient on the offensive end. They didn't let the zone of Cuse frustrate them into playing a different tempo of offense.
It also helped that Jackson from Cuse is terrible at handling the ball.

The game ended with a turnover by cuse. How appropriate.

Yep, been saying that all year about Syracuse, and quietly (to myself) about Kansas...Obviously I never portrayed my weakness in Kansas to other people, but all year I just couldn't visualize Kansas..or syracuse..as being hte best team in the country.Mulva wrote:I agree with that.

This Butler team makes me think of 'Hoosiers'
Butler still plays in Hinkle Fieldhouse where the film and real Milan team played in the IHSAA Championship game...
Would be great to see them in Indy in the Final Four, a few miles away from campus

OSU still has to play well, but if they do, they've got a great chance of making the title game now.

That's the thing, nobody in this field looked like they had "it" all year. A weak year in general.

Yeah especially considering teams like UCONN, UNC, Indiana, Arizona etc aren't in the tournament.jpake1 wrote: That's the thing, nobody in this field looked like they had "it" all year. A weak year in general.

That would be a nice subplot.
