Sweet 16: (8) Butler def. (4) Wisconsin, 61-54

    This game is over...Wisconsin's been stuck on 27 for the whole second half lol. They won't get to 47 by the end of the game, even if Butler stops scoring.

    Wisky couldn't shoot it in the ocean if they were standing in front of it!!

    Damnit, postgame ended on CBS. gotta watch this shittastic game.

    This just in from CBS...Gus Johnson said "fuck this" and went home.

    If Andrew Smith is hurt significantly, and it projects to affect his services next season, it might literally change the landscape of whether Brad Stevens stays at Butler or not.

    If he is healthy, Butler is returning 7 of their top 10 players and bring in a decent class. They will be primed (and expected) to make another deep, deep run.

    I don't know if he re-injured himself, but he was back in the game after the injury. It turned out to be an ankle injury instead of a knee injury.

    I guess that's what I get for watching it on delay!

    I see that now.

    Great news.

    If Leuer and Taylor shoot a decent percentage they are right there, but thats only if.

    Law of Gus coming through.
  • karen lotz
    Law of Gus has taken over.
  • ironman02
    Wow. Is Butler really gonna blow this?
  • robj55
    Huge shot by Taylor.
  • Red_Skin_Pride
    uh oh Butler
  • Azubuike24
    This has been a very, very "strange" game...
  • Azubuike24
    Shelvin Mack is $$$...
  • ironman02
    Yeah, HUGE shot by Mack with 1 second left on the shot clock.
  • robj55
    Another huge 3 by Taylor
  • Mulva
    What an awful game for Leuer.
  • ironman02
    Gotta hand it to Brad Stevens. Pretty impressive what Butler has been doing in the NCAA Tournament lately.

    Christ, how bad has Butler been with this press? Its not like they are playing Nolan Richardson's Arkansas teams from the mid 90s...

    40 Minutes of Hell with Corliss Williamson, Scotty Thurman, and company. Glad they beat Duke in '94. lol

    another big game for Howard

    great hustle and he has some impressive post moves

    definitely don't like the matchup for Butler on paper against Florida but then again they keep winning NCAA tourney games so I wouldn't put it past them

    If I am Florida I'd start the game with the full court press. Id make Butler prove they can beat the 90 ft of defense.
