How is that a charge when howard is moving the whole time....butler travels on every other play.

You guys actually expected a "pretty" game? lol

It's amazing that the refs continue game after game to be on Butlers nuts. They bomb away from 3 pt land, more than half their shots and yet they shoot 8 FT's to UConn's 1 when UConn is dominating in the paint.

[Bill Dozer]

Has nothing to do with the score. The quality of play is terrible.

It's just like Kellogg just said Butler plays best when they play bad. Sounds stupid but it makes sense.

Thought Kemba would be more aggressive once he got his first bucket 7 minutes in. So far he hasn't.

He's letting his teammates have at it but 2nd half will be different. Calhoun will play inside out. They are either going for the foul or back out for the open jumper.

[letsgo]

LOL, here come the blame the Refs arguments, let me guess, you are on Uconn?

[DeeWizzle]

Alot of pure shooters in this game one of the best games i have ever watched in my life.

You just broke my sarcasometer

It will only suck if I am on the losing side at the end

After 2nd thought YOU`RE RIGHT paco

[beerman2619]

keep trying starfire you douchebag

[drfunkmaster]

Uconn is not playing well at all...

[ShortDaddyT]

I bet the farm on the Bulldogs ML so let's go Butler!

Assuming oriaki can stay out of foul trouble

Okwandu has the worst hands ive ever seen and is zero threat inside. They won't double him unless he tries to dribble which will mean Butler steal.

[carmeloso80]

who still like uconn! LOL.... Kemba Walker already whining that he is not getting his way. Please butler hand him a L and show the world how this guys can't handle losing.

[ghn999]

I am going with under on the 2nd half. Under 68.5....

It's getting close to midnight Cinderella... Even the refs will not save you here

Cant believe how bad Bull dogs have played. Very disappointing. Congrats Uconn backers. This one is yours.

[Mr Handicapable]

Butler shoots more ft's because they box out and do the little things religiously instead of counting on being a better athlete and outrunning/jumping someone! Butler 3s make the difference...they need to break out the little lefty white boy too for a couple 3s!

[DeeWizzle]

ButIer aIready won the game... This game was on tape deIay and I just checked the score on the internet...

Congrats ButIer BuIIdog Backers, Congrats!!

Old Dominion said that

Wisconsin etc.
Florida
VCU

I can see how the UConn scoring outburst of 19 makes you confident

What? This is the kind of game Butler wants.

[alamo]

Butler scored ONE two point basket in the whole of the first half. No other team in NCAAB history has ever scored so few.

UCONN the title is yours.

[k13]

LOL, here come the blame the Refs arguments, let me guess, you are on Uconn?

Congrats on your Butler Victory.

Butler 1/13 from inside the arc in TWENTY mins of basketball. I have already burnt my ticket.

[neverstoppers23]

i dont think walker is going to be 3-11 in the 2nd half. good luck butler, but i think ur amazing run has come and gone.
but u got htis far, so who knows. ucon is playing like shit. 0-5 from threees.
walker sucking it up.
slow start.
good d by butler, ucon aint helping them selves here

[Mr Handicapable]

Backing Butler but I was worried about Lamb for UConn....0 points/2 fouls....if he wakes up then UConn might get it done?

[InTheDrink]

More of the same in the second half. Ugly bball and it's still a toss up.

If Kemba doesn't go down firing in the second half that'd be a major choke. I'd rather see him go 1-12 than fade away

Please tell me this is a joke.

Uconn are shooting lights out from inside arc. They are 100% from the line and theyve only taken 5 shots from downtown. Uconn has this in the bag

Butler 15-0 in downtown points...you make no sense??

Make that 18

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

All Butler can do is shoot their threes.

[letsgo]

All Butler can do is shoot their threes.

That's enough to win a game like this if they can hit a few.

[ukbsktbll]

Butler playing scared. Gotta attack and get Uconn players in foul trouble

[Mr Handicapable]

Butler is going down if they don't atleast drive the ball and kick it out? Make sure UConn can't just sit their D on the 3 pt. line!!

[ManBearPig]

All Butler can do is shoot their threes.

It's all they can do...can't get inside the paint at all...when they do it's a block or miss because the threat of a block. UCONN's size is killing them. They need to get them in foul trouble and get into the bonus early so they can get some easy points at the line...otherwise they are doing to have a hard time scoring from inside the arch period.
