    Disappointing performance by the Bulldogs. I really thought it was going to be their night. Not going to beat many teams if you can't but the ball in the hoop. They had plenty of good looks from the outside. Lots of in-and-out's. Great D by the Huskies down low. Caused problems for Howard and Smith the whole game. Congrats UConn.
    Nevermind, misread my bad. (In regards to my initial reply which i deleted)

    Agreed same difference, UConn sucked less is more accurate than they played better by far, although they technically did play a lot better than Butler, I'll give you that they weren't good by any means either though.

      I agree with you there. Thanks for the clarification. I took your post as sort of ignoring the fact that UConn kind of stunk tonight too.

          haha yeah wish it would've been a better game but all in all that was a great tournament the rest of the way.

              Understandable for you, I'd love that game in your shoes as well!

              As a person with no real rooting interest in the game it was pretty painful to watch, but a championship is a championship so I totally understand where you're coming from.

                  Wow. I didn't think I would ever see anything this bad. Thank god I decided to just glance over at the TV every now and then instead of sitting through the entire thing.

                  The only highlights:

                  -UConn winning
                  -Correctly predicting UConn would go all the way and win in my bracket
                  -A Butler player (didn't catch who it was) clearly shoving Lamb in mid-air on the baseline with no call and Lamb shouting "What the....?!"

                    Congrats jets and ehh and the other UConn alum/students/fans here.

                    Great to see the work Kemba put in over the summer translate to having simply a ridiculous year. I believe they were undefeated in every tournament they played this year.

                    Yes, bring that championship back to the Big East

                    Congrats!!!!!!!

                    The Kemba did it!

                      Poor Butler, it's like they had a lid on they're basket. Gotta be heartbreaking If your Howard or Mack.

                      Congrats to UConn!

                        The first half was obviously horrible for UConn offensively but four of our five starters were on the bench with two fouls and it surprisingly took Calhoun a long time to abandon the high PnR which Butler did a fantastic job of defending.

                        In the second half we put up 34 points (so nearly a 70 pt pace) shot 45% from the floor, nothing wrong or ugly about that.

                          Saw this morning that Liam's Mum on Mike & Mike picked UConn to beat Butler in the final before the tournament. Her predicted final score: 53-39. They claimed the chances of picking this closely are 1 in 10 million.

                            I think they are changing their story...last week they were talking about how she had VCU/UConn in the title game and how it was such a longshot that anyone would have picked VCU.

                              I dunno, I remember them saying the whole time it was Butler/UConn.

                                I wonder what the lowest FG% in a game this year was across all of D1? Can't imagine it could be any worse than 19%.

                                Really feel bad for Butler. It's almost incomprehensible they actually had a lead at halftime.
