NCAA

          In what was a very entertaining tournament, the final game left most fans wanting. Only UCONN fans can truly be happy with the end result. A sloppy, ugly, basketball game that saw one team make 3 2pt baskets over the whole 40 minutes while shooting a miserable 18% for the game (an all time low). Butler can't even blame it on the "1 and done" trend in the NCAA, They are full of seniors with championship game experience. Maybe they choked. Maybe UCONN's defense was really that good. Or maybe, in a year that saw a very average group of top tier teams, Butler just got lucky. A last second put back, a ridiculous foul with no time on the clock, an amazing run by VCU....who? Last years Butler team would have beat this years team by 15 in last nights game. Butler did what it needed to do to get back to the final 4, but lets not put this team in an "all time team" conversation. The Rebels of the 80's & 90's, the 80's Hoyas. the Duke's of the 90's & early 2000's, Arkansas 40 minutes of hell, even the Fab 5 would have embarrassed  both of those teams last night.

          The tournament is fun no matter the quality of the field. We still get our buzzer beaters, our Cinderella's, and even our one shining moment. But please, what ever you do, don't put these teams in an all time conversation. They had good runs against average competition. Leave the history talk for the teams that actually made history.
