    UConn pulls out early, Butler pulls close but trails by 4 at the half

    Butler comes out strong in the 2nd half and wins by 5

    say what you want about the BCS but 90% of the time the national champ is the best team in the country. Mrach madness is exciting and all but its a pretty terrible way to find out who the best team is.

    I don't think so. This year just proves that there's no dominant team in college basketball. If you go back through the NCAA Tournament champions of the last decade, pretty much every champion had the best team in retrospect. They had teams with NBA-level talent or a great NCAA senior.

    I agree that it's not the best way to determine the best team, but the dominant, great teams prevail in this format. A year like this just shows that such a team does not exist.

    And let's face it, sports isn't fair. The NFL's system is ridiculous, but we love it. In MLB, a 162 game season can be ruined for the best team by a five game series. It is what it is.

    This will be the first time in the last 10 years that a team NOT ranked in the top 2 in the Pomeroy rankings will win the national championship.

    Cesporz is rooting for UConn because she picked them to win it all. And she picked them to win it all because she really likes Huskies (the dog).

    Doubt they shoot 22% and win as many games as they do. So NO, it is not prototypical Butler game folk.
