Have you seen the new allegations against UConn and Kentucky? Ii never ends. UConn played good D on Kentucky and exposed their inexperience. Plus without Harrelson in the game Kentucky was out of control. Had last years crop of one and doners at Kentucky stayed it probably wouldn't even have been close. UConn has pretty much the same recruiting scheme. The term student athlete is a joke...save a couple guys like Knight. Butler shut down VCU in the end. Or VCU just wasn't aggressive enough. I was pulling for VCU but Butler is a story too. One of the VCU players played on my high school team. (A few years after I played, lol).

The Rim-Out will surely be the story that gets the biggest play for Butler, but hopefully it will be noted just how far Butler has had to come back to get here. Two months ago today, Butler blew a 10-point lead in the final six minutes to fall, 62-60, to the Youngstown State Penguins, a team that entered the game 7-14 and would finish the season 9-21. For their own part, Butler fell to 14-9 overall, 6-5 in the Horizon League, extended their losing streak to three games, with a trip to the conference leaders, Cleveland State, up next. Not exactly a team you'd expect to even be in the mix on Selection Sunday, much less two months away from playing for the national championship.
