    Beyond them being "mid-majors", just think of these two teams and their respective styles. One team that controls the clock and plays defense and another that wants to play fast.

    Should be an excellent game.

      A "traditional power" team is going to play a "Cinderella" for the National Championship this year.
      And if Butler wins the cinderella would actually be the defending NCAA finalist. This is wacky...

      Last year I was really dissapointed when Duke won by the point spread that they did. I think this year, the little guy HAS to win this year just to put a final exclamation point on one of the greatest March Madness in recent memory. if UK/UNC/UConn wins I don't think it has the same flavor..

        Ok after taking a little time to let the anger of knowing that Kansas loss likely just let $500 slip away from me, excited about the Final Four matchup next weekend.

        But fffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I could've used some cash :'(

                No and that's not what I was saying at all. What I was getting at is that Butler under Brad Stevens is going to be a smart well run program. Cinderella squads are the ones that rise up out of no where and get hot and make an unbelievable run for 1 year ( SEE VCU). When Butler gets back to the Tourney next year are they still going to be a Cinderella team ? What about the year after that ?

                      Butler is still a little guy. But I do agree they're not a traditional little guy. It's win it all or bust to them, at least with this current team based on what they did last year.

                      Congrats to VCU. It's odd.. I dont even consider this that big of an upset.

                                Not even close.

                                There has never been an easier draw to the Final Four than 16, 9, 12, 11.
