You Have to Cheer for Butler
It is tough not to cheer for this team to make the National Title game isn’t it. Many people had them pegged to lose in the opening round yet they keep going playing teams from all conferences and continually beat them with tough defense.
When I became a believer was in the first 5 minutes against Syracuse. I watched Syracuse a bunch this season and Butler came out and was prepared for them. They weren’t going to give them fast break chances and were going to play them physically and that’s what they did. It was a great coaching job and better execution by the players. Then against Kansas St they did the same thing and just played them tougher than most thought. Michigan St is a physical team with a lot of athletes who get up and down the court but I have a feeling that Butler will be able to match them and that we’ll have another typical close game.
If Butler wins the Final 4 I predict a movie will be made. I know that 5 seeds winning it aren’t the highest longshots ever, but Butler, from a mid major playing in the same state where they reside is a Hollywood story.
