Butler - Syracuse game

[SFP]

Who do you believe the announcers are pulling for?

Couple questionable calls against Butler IMO.

 

[AE Braves Fan]

I love watching Butler play. If I had a 2nd favorite team it would definitely be Butler. They are gonna be great next year too.

ummmm if I hear Orange one more time, I'm going to puke!

This is over! Butler's got Syracuse on the ropes!

I wish Bradley could play D like Butler...

Not Sweet........ELITE!

Wilkins could be our Hayward

Man I hope we finish the series with them next year. Butler is going to just as good next year as well! That'd be a great game to have on the schedule in a potential good year.

This is why you have to love basketball. It's still about team and playing smart, fundamental basketball.

That would be HUGE! That would be even better than playing a BCS team because the whole world knows how good Butler is.

So Butler is now just one win away from the Final Four! How cool is that?!

The mid-major uprising continues!

Btw, Butler doesn't have a 6'11 250 pound center.....just sayin.:mrgreen:

Oh their big plays big and is not small at 230 lbs and with Heyward as the other bookend at 6'9" makes a formidable front court. Howard + Heyward is bigger then WE + TB!

Die BCS Die!

IU hoosier fans hating life right now!

 

[SFP]

I picked Butler to make the Final 4!

 

[ser_solace]

So, any chance we get a mid major final four?

Another 1(seed) bites the dust....and another 1's gone and another 1's gone....another 1(seed) bites the dust!!!!!!

If Xavier beats KSU its 100% guaranteed!

WE is 6'9 233 lbs. JW is 6'9 205. TB 6'6 205.

Howard is 6'8 230 lbs. Hayward is 6'9 207 lbs.

Some want a big instead of JW, but if JW WANTS to come here, then we wouldn't be far off from what Butler has if WE continues to get stronger and JW plays similarly to Hayward. JW would be a 3 and TB a 4 probably, but still. People have said all year how Howard doesn't play as good against big centers. He has shown he can, as WE did against Illinois (has bigs at least height wise if not weight wise).

So it can be done without a huge center. WE/JP/AT might be able to get the job done as Howard has shown. So if JW wants to come, I would take him over a big. If we can get a big too great, but I doubt many greats one's are left.

In summary, if we don't get a huge big this year, we can still go far!

I thought he meant a whole final four of mid-majors. Hmmm....St. Mary's, Cornell, UNI, and Butler/Xavier? Wouldn't that be something?
