Title: Okay, Who Had Butler Going to the Final Four?
Post by: guido911 on March 27, 2010, 09:04:48 PM
As a one-time Hoosier state resident and lover of underdogs, I am thrilled that Butler is going (even at the expense of a Big 12 Team):

My final four was Kstate, West Virginia, Duke and Tennessee.

If Duke and Tennessee both win tomorrow (and both are favored) I should win a couple of contests.

I'm impressed. It was absolutely the best NCAA final I've seen. Butler didn't get intimidated and Duke didn't take them for granted. It was cool to see Coach K so humble after the win. People won't forget this runner-up anytime soon.

Too wild a game....the refs let it go to the extreme. Agreed, one of the better David and Goliath struggles. But you must not have seen very many finals to say that.

you're right, I'm only going on the experience of the last 27 or 28 finals so I could be myopic.   ::)
