Kansas State took everything Xavier had to offer and prevailed in double overtime.

Butler stunned No. 1 seed Syracuse and will look to secure a berth in the Final Four back home in Indianapolis.

After tonight, I gotta go Butler as well.

They play great team defense and won't have as many offensive lapses as X did down the stretch.

Butler is playing with added motivation to get back to Indy.

Oh, and I wonder how fresh K-State will look on Saturday.. That's the biggest reason for me.

After having played both. Twice with Kansas State. Kansas State is the better team.

K-State is better, I think Butler might have "more" motivation....Kansas State is just so tough with that backcourt, though. If one isn't on, then the other one likely is, and if they're both on, that's pretty much game over.

I'll take K-State.

I buy the motivation card as well. That being said, I still think KState and X last night was to go to the final four. That is if that game didn't drain all the emotion out of everyone.

Kansas State could lose by 30 and I wouldn't blame them. Guys were collapsing everywhere after last night.

I like K State in this game. I don't think Butler matches up well.

I like K-State a lot in this game. I look for Jacob Pullen to have another big game.

K-State is my pick. Simply because I wouldn't want to have to explain to that coach why I picked against him.

Frank Martin could join the WWE as Vince McMahon's long lost brother

I hope Butler wins. Cool story, fun team to watch and having to see Frank Martin squirm on the bench is insufferable.

Just make Gus the No. 1 college basketball play-by-play.

I like Jim Nantz but he's already No. 1 for the NFL and golf.

Whatever happens, CBS needs to fire Clark and put him back in NYC. Whoever made that decision to put Clark in the national championship game needs help.

I swear Martin seems like somebody out of pro wrestling. One of those old managers of the bad guys.

Frank has Crazy Eyes

Butler is executing pretty well against the Wildcat D. I wonder if the OT took something out of KSU
