I'll go Butler because they are a very good team and because I have to believe losing Lucas will hurt MSU at some point. I do love to watch Sparty play though and will probably root for them here. I will root for whoever wins this in the title game.

I like both teams, but I have to pull for Butler with everything going on.. Indy? I mean seriously, how good of a story would that be.

I really think this game is gonna blow. I have a feeling it might not reach the 50s and just have a slow pace with tons of turnovers and missed shots.

I disagree Laley.
Both of these teams run beautiful offensive sets and both play tough defense.
I think it'll be high 50's to mid 60's.
I think it's going to be a tightly contested game. I honestly don't know who to pick. I mean, I wouldn't mind seeing either in the championship, that's for sure.
I am starting to feel that MSU has the advantage with Morgan and Roe. I just love Morgans game, along with Draymond Green.

Well, Butler hasnt given up 60 yet. I doubt MSU will get it. MSU plays solid D as well. It may be a beautifully executed game, but it will be slow paced and boring.
I wouldnt be shocked with like a 54-49 final. That is BORING basketball. But, all of Butlers games are boring, even though they are great to watch at the same time.

Yeah, I just think adrenaline is going to play a HUGE factor with these two teams as both get out to a fast scoring pace.

54-49 might be boring to some people, but not to me. Great defensive games with solid execution are some of the most exciting games. A 7-0 run is huge in those games., and worth getting excited about. If the teams are scoring every time down the floor, how exciting is that?

After WVU beats Duke, you will win the national championship on Monday night.

Gordon Hayward with 10 of Butler's first 12 points. He's a beast.

5 straight chances by Butler to tie or take the lead when it was 22-20 and they go 0/5

Butler will win this, MSU has no offense! I can't believe how dominant Raymar and Delvon were in High School on the offensice end, and they don't have the same roles at MSU, and there is no one else on the team who does either, besides the injured guard.

Sparty missing free throws and Butler is pounding it inside. Not looking good for MSU.

Still give Izzo credit for taking his team to the Final Four because they are definitely not a Very talented team.

Only 24 posts and were in the 2nd half. Proves that this Final 4 is one that very few care about.
