get an early lead ..play shut down defense..frustrate other team..grind down their energy..WIN, thats what they did to k-state you could see it in their eyes,, hands on hips ,and breathing hard thru their mouths just before the half it was over then,,didnt watch Butler much this year but seems to be a pattern

True JJ, never.

Excellent point!

MICHIGAN STATE is just as much, if not more, of a Cinderalla team.

Still a cinderella JJ. How many power conference teams would have been a 5 seed with a 20+ game winning streak, regular season and tourney season championships? None. Butler did the same thing Kentucky did and Kentucky was never at any point LESS than a 1 seed. Basketball rankings mean nothing, Gonzaga is in the ratings every year yet can't get a high seed no matter how well they do during the season. Butler has been a dog against all teams from the power conferences.

This team is no joke, for the past 4 year's since head coach Brad Stevens has been there. the ESPN/USA TODAY coaches poll, in October they were ranked tenth. They are awsome, it won't surprise me when they cut down the net's next week. Dec 28, 2011 they are playin the Florida Gator's and I'm very lucky to have A ticket.
