    Butler is a good football team - not nearly a good basketball team
    This team was horrible in the tournament. They averaged like 32% FG for the tourney and was a Godawful 30% last night. This team won games by playing football. They tackled, tripped, picked, grabbed, elbowed, etc. their way to the title game. They made their living off the FT with the help of the ref's in ALL their games. I thought Duke got the benefit of the calls but Butler was the tourney's darling.

    Last night was like watching a football game. Butler had a license to kill. They pushed, set illegal picks grabbed at crotches and arms. That shit was horrible to watch. The one offensive play they had was where their henchmen (number 24 and 13) would setup in the paint and grab his man away from the ball and the dribbler would run off of him as he's grappling the defender who then can't play help defense because he's being held off the ball. I'm not sure if the refs could see this or they just didn't give a fuk but that shit was so bushleague.

    I'm so glad these fuks didn't win because they were an ugly looking football team who couldn't shoot for shit

    Perfect 6-0 ATS is all that matters.

      I backed them in 4 games and faded them last night. I'm not saying I wasn't rooting for them in the tourney but looking back at their play, they really weren't a great basketball team. Everyone of their games was just like last night. Ugly, scrappy, rugby looking ballgames. I thought last nights game was great... LAST NIGHT. But a day later as I think about it, that was an ugly game. Zero offense, poor officiating and sloppy play by both teams.

          I bet they don't hit as hard as the basketball team does either...

            They proved one idea right.

            Defense can carry a team.
