I KNEW it wasn't going to be before it even got started. Why? Connecticut had more size (thus able to switch off on Butler's screens and cause their gameplan to be tough to execute) and Butler plays NASTY defense. It knew it was going to be a low scoring affair (of course, I didn't think they'd shoot as poorly as they did). But you can't tell me that it wasn't exciting to see VCU made the Final Four. That it wasn't intriguing to see Butler win somehow no matter how poorly they played against some pretty good teams.
I'm pretty sure that this year's tournament broke the record for most individual viewers ever for the tournament so I'd hardly say that it was a failure and the worst field in history.
Jesus, and you guys think I over-exaggerate things. :/
