April 5, 201115 yr Mark Emmert takes stage. Where's Lee Harvey Oswald when you need him... Not just Oswald I want the two male models on the grassy knoll. Well I traveled all the watch to Houston to see UK lose and witness the worst final game in history. Can someone clear up the UCONN/NCAA situation.
April 5, 201115 yr Something I witnessed first hand tonight: Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley are walking to the tunnel, the National Anthem starts. Charles stops, hand over heart. Kenny walks on, his back to the flag. Idiot
April 5, 201115 yr I have to feel for Butler. 18%!!.....:scared:.I wouldn't had thought it was humanly possible to shoot that bad. Butler is a very good basketball team and they just couldn't get anything to fall. Stevens went to that 2-3 zone in the 2nd half just to try to get a fast break going off a UConn miss and they couldn't get that going. What a 2 year run Butler has had, consecutive final four appearances. Brad Stevhens is as good as any coach in the country and as long as he is there Butler will be good. I have to give UConn credit, they played great defense and rebounded well and that is what wins championships. Congrats to UConn and any bgp/UConn fans. :thumb:

April 5, 201115 yr What will be interesting to see is how will Butler follow up this season with thenext? They have been to back-to-back National Championship games and no longer will they have the mid-major type name placed by them. Granted that may have been the case already but they will have an even bigger target on their backs over the next several years. I'm really hoping that Butler is able to hold onto Stevens and allow that program to continue to build. Butler is officially in the class of Xavier, Gonzaga, and Memphis (and I apologize for others that I may be forgetting) where they are a major program stuck in a mid-major conference. Who is Butler returning next year?

Who is Butler returning next year? Don't look for Shelven Mack to return. Also know that Kamron Woods has signed to play at Butler.
April 5, 201115 yr Brad Stevens. All Class... So, is he headed to UCONN for a gazillion dollars to clean up the mess Calhoun is going to leave? Seriously, he is first rate.

Who is Butler returning next year? Don't look for any more magic next year. They lose Howard, Mack, and the other guard that was a senior...Have a little coming in, next year, I look for them to be between a 6-8 seed, first or second round loss. After that, we'll see where the probgrams goes.
April 5, 201115 yr Sorry, not really part of this thread, but I read a story that UCONN contacted Houston and Rice University Monday morning and gave tickets to the atheletes to fill the UCONN student section.

April 5, 201115 yr I saw a tweet that said "If Butler had shot Tupac he'd still be alive." :lol: In all seriousness this was one of the worst basketball games I ever watched.
