cameroncrazie07 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Officially rooting for Butler. I liked Chandler Parsons, but Butler is like a mid-major version of Duke. I just hope that it's agood game, I hate seeing blowouts in the later rounds in the tournament. If I'm not mistaken every game from the Elite 8 on last year was close (within 10 points) except Duke-West Virginiain the Final 4. That's why last years tournament was so good.

knnhrvy16 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Man, Butler is missing way too many easy shots throughout this game (first half especially). They could come back, but we'll see.EDIT: as I type this, its cut back down to four. C'mon, Bulldogs! The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwabel Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I will not place these in the "Gear Grinder" thread, but on both sides of the Butler/Florida game:1- Butler got the rebound with 1:01 left and did not try to push the ball to at least have the ball for the last possession. Try to have the ball last. 2- Any coach trusting a NYC point guard to hit 17 ft jumper to win a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJMorris3 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I can't buy into Butler as an underdog. They are not a mid-major anymore, just like Gonzaga isn't really a mid-major. They've been good enough for long enough that the mid-major label just doesn't do them justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been good enough for long enough that the mid-major perception just doesn't do them justice.I agree. It's hard to call a team an underdog or Cinderella when that team lost the title game last season. Especially now that they're on their way to their second straight Final Four. Great game.

knnhrvy16 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Butler does it again!!! What an incredible game, and comeback. So thrilling to see Butler back in the Final Four!

nash61 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Great game. Not happy with the result, but the Bulldogs definitely earned that one.

DEAD! Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 And with a return to the Final Four, Butler is this generations Gonzaga...Other than they are both bulldogs... not even close... Gonzaga never were as successful... I guess the "there has to be an exciting game when Gus Johnson is annoucing" rule come to effect again I saw, I came, I left.

RyanMcD29 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I think Butler's easily beyond Gonzaga-level, though. The Zags never made it to the Final Four, and here the Bulldogs are going to their second in a row Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great game.I agree, too. I don't care if Butler goes winless next regular season and only gets into the tournament with a 16 seed by winning the Horizon tournament, I'll pick them to get in my Final 4. Brad Stephens is by far the best coach in the NCAA. His team is kind of mediocre not including Mack and Howard, but he still finds a way to win games and sneak into the Final 4. Amazing; go Butler.
