Well, Butler's house money finally ran out. Great defense from both teams, and it should have been closer had Butler not choked on wide open looks. It was a long season for both teams and Butler may have just been tired, because you know UConn was (Kemba said the UK game really took a lot out of them).
UConn's run was nothing short of amazing. Beating 5 Big East teams in 5 days, followed by their undefeated run in the tourney will go down as one of the best ever. Calhoun wasn't lying when he said this was the best team he's ever coached and he has coached a plethora of NBA players.
The Big East continues to show why it's the best conference in college basketball. A shame that heavy hitters like St.J, Nova, G-Town, and Louisville got hit with the injury bug but that's life. Pitino claimed that his team this year would beat UConn 20 times out of 30 which could very well be true.
Great tourney this year.
Edit: Grats to USS Nef (zzupp) for the win. I tied for 5th which was better than I thought I'd do.
