Now that the NCAA championship is tomorrow and Butler is in it, it is time to discuss the cinderella run they have had. Many people expected them to lose to UTEP, then to syracuse, kansas state and michigan state. They have been the underdog in the last three games and they find ways to win. Their defense is remarkable, becoming the first team to hold every opponent in the tournament to under 60 points. Against Michigan State, they did not score a field goal in 11 minutes and still maintained a lead after that. This is a remarkable story.
After following the NCAA tournament this year, this is one of the greatest sports stories I have seen. You have a bunch of kids from Butler upsetting all these powerhouse schools and showing that they belong. It is remarkable to see them play because of their defense, and the fact that they are never scared. I will admit that i did not think they were very good, but they have gained my respect this tournament. I will never doubt Butler ever again. It was absolute crazy in the final four game and I am so proud to be from the same state as them. Every basketball fan in Indiana should be following them. GO BUTLER!!!
