  Damnit, I need Butler to win or lose by 4 or less!
• hoops23

  

  Lenny Elmore is garbage.
  
  Butler is choking this one away!!
• Non

  

  Butler coach called the timeout that Matta didn't
  
  will it lead to a better result?
  
  only one point but doesn't want to wait 31 seconds for the under-4, Butler needed the timeout immediately

  Im a genious on the first sentence. But they proved me wrong on the second. Getting it up tempo in lass than 2 minutes and took the lead. they need to continue this pace.

  Gus is gettin' fired up!

  You have to bring out a dictionary with some of the words Gus uses lol.
• Laley23

  

  Len Elmore is such a buzzkill with Gus on the call!
• Laley23

  

  K St getting called on the post defense that Butler isnt getting called for. That has been huge this half in the foul disparity.
• mallymal614

  Gus Johnson - "Call him Mr. Willie Wonka. His jump shots pour like a chocolate factory"
  
  lol he didn't really say that, but that sounds like something he would say.

  As much as you enjoy Clemente and Pullen, I love watching Hayward and Butler. I've loved watching the Bulldogs since the days Darnell Archey was shooting 30-foot rainbows over opponents from the deep corner. That Sweet 16 run in '03 sealed the deal for me.
  
  I just like Butler's old school feel to the game. It's like they've been transported from '50s Indiana and taking on the one-class IHSAA Tournament. Sounds cliche, sure, but cool nonetheless.
  
  I also despite Frank Martin.

  Butler is definitely better for the Final Four.
  
  K-State has some great players, though, and they've gained identity the past few days

  I understand why you want to watch Butler. I just didnt know what the hatred for K St was. Thats all.
• reclegend22

  

  Also, I just realized that 30-foot rainbows from the deep corners are impossible

  Clemente what a play
  
  54-54
• mallymal614

  This tournament has been too crazy.
• reclegend22

  

  I do have to give Clemente his due. I think he's the most offensively talented player in the Big 12. He's a scoring machine when he wants to be. He did it at Miami against the ACC and he's doing it now.
• Non

  

  Nored took a lot of seconds
  
  but scored
  
  58-54
• Laley23

  

  Pullen misses an open 3 badly. That wouldve been huge.
• Laley23

  

  big FTs coming here.
• Non

  

  missed free throw
  
  could be the game
• Laley23

  

  the K St guards have just been off all game. It will be why they lose.
