hopefully, you all know that Cinderella rarely makes it to a National title game. I wouldn't go hog wild on your bankrolls backing Butler. Izzo and boys will come to throw down today. regardless of the outcome, it should be entertaining.

Cinderella herself and all other Cinderellas never won 24 in a row! Look at their records the past 8 years. This is no fluke! If you watched them play and their jerseys said Duke you would not of made your Cinderella comment!Comment -
Pomeroy:
Butler ranked 12th w/ 2nd toughest non-conf SOS
Mich St ranked 23rd w/ 70th toughest non-conf SOS
I like Butler, but you're right--it will be entertaining.
GL on your Izzo play.

I wouldn't quite call Butler a Cinderella, that being said, I do like Mich STate hereComment -
butler... they're much betterComment -
Michigan st doesn't belong, they fluked their way into the final 4Comment -
ms does belong.
they have proven to be a good team yet i think butler will be able to win this one hands downComment -
50% from the field, 45% from 3 pt, 85% FT shooting, only a couple turnovers should get the job done for either team.Comment -
MSU are winners - more experience, better coach. I think Butler's a better team but banking on pressure and media hype to crack the bulldogs.
Izzo +1.5Comment -
How can you call them a Cinderella story when they were ranked 10th in the pre-season???
I agree that Izzo has more experience but Butler is a better team I like them to move on.Comment -
I could give 2 shits about the Cinderella story, its nice and all, and even included this in my write-up, its just that Butler is the far better team and IMO will win today.Comment -
Entertaining is correct. Not sure what else to say other than thatComment -
Brad Stevens becomes a legend tonightComment -
should be a hell of a gameComment -

On Butler but small play
good luck!

Butler is anything but a cinderella story. They were ranked top ten in the pre-season and were consistenly in the top 25 all yearComment -
is m st. a younger team ?Comment -
butler isn't a cinderella anymore... they are a proven mid major school..similar to gonzaga...they are a really good team..they didnt have an easy way to the final four as say michigan st (didnt have to play either of the top 3 seeds in their region) .. Butler is for real..Comment -
i agree, but now theyre here and after a wk to prep, everything resets. i respect your opinions brock but you are going overboard w/your love for butler. the intangibles are pointing to mich st. i'm sorry but this is the way i see it and being on the opposite side of me is less than a 50/50 proposition. but, i am mich st +6.5 on the tease so maybe we both win.Comment -
Butler to Championship
They were preaseason TOP 10, now Clicking on all cylinders at the right time, They Play
Deffense... shut down Pollen from Kst, and the guard from Syracuse.... their not selfish with the ball either they wait till they get the best shot very calm...

Leaning Butler, either way this is going to be a good game. lol all.

How is Butler a cinderella? Wake up people! Pre-season top 10 and ranked in the top 25 every week since the 2006-2007 season. So now they have been ranked every week for a little over 3 years. That is no cinderella. The team is for real. That said I have no idea who wins because Izzo is the best tournament coach probably ever. At least I can't remember a coach taking his teams to final fours like this with this little talent.Comment -
there is no clear cut favorite this year to win the tournament so i wouldn't count butler out so fast.this is such a down year anybody had a chance and it played out that way.i myself like the spartans but i would not be surprised if butler advances on

its going to be fun. beer is cold and popcorn ready.

butler had a much more impressive run to the final 4 than michigan state.
didn't need last second buzzer beaters over mediocre teams...
by your logic linedrivr, neither one is going to win since the last time a #5 made the title game was 2002...
gl all
also wtf? popcorn with beer? that is just disgustingComment -
I never said they would lose bro. if I were placing a wager on the game, I would take Izzo & co. I happen to be playing Duke -2. I made the thread to hopefully keep some young'uns in here from tossing their entire bankrolls on Butler. its way to risky of a bet. if Butler were so much better, Vegas wouldnt have set the line so low. Vegas isnt scared of Butler and neither is Izzo and his minions.

if these fuks think they should go all in on any game let alone this game on either side they deserve to go broke(hopefully they dont go broke on butler as im betting them myself) nun the less win or lose that all in shit never a good idea....you know you cant help anyone who thinks otherwiseComment -
yum wings and beer now THAT'S GOOD EATIN!
i do believe there are a lot of casual gamblers out there taking butler with larger-than-usual action because their heart wants them to win.Comment -
Butler played out of conference against ...
Davidson ...W
@ NW .......W
@ Evansville W
vs. Minny ....L
vs. UCLA .....W
vs. Clemson L
@ Ball St .....W
vs. Georgetown..L
Ohio St ........L
Xavier ..........W
@UAB............L
pretty average non conference record and they only beat one real team Xavier.
then they won 20 in a row in conference incl. 2 in the conference tourney.
then beat powerhouse conference usa UTEP & Murray St in the dance .... i can't explain the win over syracuse and then they beat a KSU team just off a double overtime drainer (i even had butler in that one, it was so obvious) but i am not impressed with the record of their so called, "tough non conference schedule". how highly ranked was their conference schedule????? can't imagine it was very high..... i have to believe Mich ST/Izzo is the wise play here.Comment -
