I’m so very impressed and pleased by what Butler is doing this year, again. Under pressure, no matter what happens,they don’t quit.

Butler has a lot of fight in them but I think Arizona will be the champion on April 4th.

“This one is for all the small schools, that never had the chance get here...”

My favorite line, from one of the greatest movies of all time.
You just have to be from Indiana, before class tournaments began, to understand what this really means.

I don’t know, you have a source for the food budget thingy?

Either way I like this, it’s what makes College Basketball special and far superior to the NBA.

The notion that there are major and mid-major schools in College Basketball are bunk, there may be money differences but in basketball all you need is a system and solid core players and one can win. Butler, Gonzaga, Memphis, Xavier etc are good programs in so called mid major conferences

What an absolutely great game. Kudos to both teams. Amazingly, Butler didn’t seem to have the heavily tattooed players so prevalent today. Florida didn’t have a lot of them either. One player, I believe it as Boynton, appeared to have tried to have his tats removed. By the way, who else thought Florida’s Chandler Parsons looked like Shaggy from Scooby Doo?

Nice job Butler! Now lets see if VCU can continue their quest and pull-off what would be the biggest upset of the tournament. Go Rams!

It is truly a testament to Butler that they overcame the Florida size advantage to win this game. That is the sign of fundamentally sound players - that can beat size and talent.

It's like Hickory High going to the Final Four.

Queue up the Hoosier soundtrack and a pep talk from coach Norm Dale.

UConn is South Bend Central now.

I’ve been a Butler fan since high school. Since the Hawkeyes can’t seem to get it done, they’re my go to team.

And Ohio State isn’t in the Final Four. There is a God.
