First Auburn, now Uconn. What a sad year for DI championships.

No doubt

Butler was garbage tonight.

Butler was garbage tonight.

I think they set a record for worst shooting percentage in a championship game since Wazzou in 1941.

[CoachL]

Yes, Butler played what might have been their worst game of the season.

Poor timing.

But 344 other Division I basketball programs would have loved to have been there tonight. They weren't. Butler was.

GO DAWGS!

Butler had another amazing season. Wasn't trying to dis them with my post, just pointing out they had a terrible night.

No doubt, and I was really pulling for them. 18 percent from the field.

I think the worst of it was the 5 or 6 missed layups in the paint.

Maybe this shows what it now takes to win a D1 championship. A shame that it has come to this.

This continues to show what it takes to win a D1 championship. A shame it has always been like this.

FIFY

Uh, no. They had a bad first few minutes of the second half, and THAT's what did them in. The first half was a wash, and Butler even had the lead due to that incredible buzzer-beater. Can't blame the first half on Butler when UCONN lost THAT one.

This.

Go back and read your history. College sports has had this problem since the word go.

Articles as early as 1895 that bemoan the "death of the student athlete"

Well, that is, unless they make the next two title games and lose both of those too. Then they're approaching Buffalo Bills territory.

18 percent from the field. That's garbage anyway you slice it.

They're currently in Montana Grizzlies territory.

So you're saying that if Butler hadn't had that crazy 5 min or so to start the second half and held on to win, the 18% would somehow invalidate their title?

Umm, first of all, if they hadn't had those 'crazy' 5 minutes, their shooting percentage probably would have been higher. Second, there was NO point in that game where they looked anything like a championship caliber team. Sure, UConn didn't play great by any stretch of the imagination, but Butler somehow out did them in terms of shitty-ness.

Look, I really, REALLY wanted the Bulldogs to pull it off, but they flat out sucked in that particular game. Period.

[Ivytalk]

At least the Lady Huskies and thug-in-chief Maya Moore went down in flames!

[philipsteele]

that is correct.....i am also agree...
