Horrible free throw shooting by K-State.

[tfarks]

Love me some Butler.

[chuckywang]

We're now guaranteed a team seeded No. 5 or lower in the title game (either No. 5 Butler, No. 5 Michigan State or No. 6 Tennessee) for the first time since 2002 when Indiana made it as a No. 5.

 

Urgh ... don't remind me.

[snoodmonger]

Heck of a game by Butler. K-State looked tired. But that was a nice run by KSU. And as much as it pains me, I really like Pullen. He's a good kid and a big time competitor.

 

I hope Butler takes this thing all the way.

[Flames24Rulz]

How can you not pull for Butler? What a solid team.

 

Elmore was absolutely atrocious today as well. Can CBS at least pair Gus with an analyst that's competent?

[Sosa21MVP]

Well I guess the price of tickets next week just went up quite a bit but I'll be there. :good:

Submitted without comment: Veasley is the only one of Butler's top seven graduating after this year.

That's what I am hoping. Not sure how this half of the bracket compares to the other half of Kentucky/Duke/WV/ and Baylor though.

Gotta pull for a Butler/WV final.

 

I'd root for Baylor if Scott Drew weren't such scum.

 

No chance I can root for Cal and UK.

 

Duke is Duke. You're a horrible person if you root for them (unless they play UK.)

I'd definitely have to pull for Scott Drew over Huggins. I don't have access to the standings for my work pool, but I think I'm still in the running for a good bit of money if UK beats Baylor in the Final 4 and then loses in the final, so I guess that's what I'm pulling for.

One guy I know is doing a different kind of pool where 16 guys buy in and each gets a 1-4 seed, a 5-8 seed, a 9-12 seed, and a 13-16 seed, and you win money based on how far your teams go (you break even at having an elite eight team). His 1-4 seed is WVU and his 5-8 seed is Butler.

"What a turn of events!" - Len Elmore after Clemente loses the ball in the last minute.

 

BUTLER WAS FREAKING UP THE ENTIRE GAME!

[SpongeWorthy]

The relative size difference between Kentucky's jerseys and shorts is baffling.

I'm rooting for Duke.

i liked how elmore's first comment to the butler coach was about how excited they had to be about going to indiana. the butler coach kindly told him that butler is IN indiana and they were going there after the game either way.

Enberg can't even remember which players are on the court.

yeah he's gotten pretty bad. you could tell he was getting older the last few years, but this is embarrassing.

[ISUCubsFan]

Looks like John Beilein is coaching West Virginia for this game.

No kidding. They haven't made a 2 point FG or a FT all game. Has a team ever lead at the half without a single 2 point FG or a FT?

I guess I don't understand what makes Duke so awful.

WVU can't hit from inside the arc but Kentucky can't hit from outside.

[Andy]

17:10 in and WVU finally puts the ball through the net without it being a 3 (Butler's and-1).
