Seriously, let's not get into an argument about polls in the sport that actually has a tournament.

VCU comes home....
How can you not pull for these guys to win it all? What an amazing story.Originally Posted by JBHuskers

Does that include internet streaming???
So VCU won the CBI tourney last year...does that mean the winner of Oregon/Creighton goes to the Final Four next year?
And Alabama is given the shocker by Wichita State in the NIT Championship game.
Is he still banned from the court? I know the NCAA banned him (and other live mascots) from the arenas.
Seeing reports that Oklahoma has hired Lon Kruger from UNLV, though there's also reports he has turned the job down. If true, he would be a good hire IMO.
and VCU's 3 Pt shooting comes back down to earth and they fall. what a ride but the fire eventually ran out.
So sad. I really wanted to see them win it all.
Me too but fingers crossed that Butler can bring home the title.So sad. I really wanted to see them win it all.
Butler vs. UConn......who you got?
I want Butler to win, but think UConn will.
Same. Butler makes the great run a second year in a row, and for a second year in a row, falls short. Though I would rather Butler win it than have UConn win and have to listen to ESPN verbally jacking off Kemba Walker all week long on every program.Butler vs. UConn......who you got?

I got a feeling Butler will win it. They looked better than either UConn or Kentucky last night. Brad Stevens is a master at scouting teams tendencies.
I'm going with Butler. Though UCONN seems to be the superior team I just have a feeling the universe will balance out. After being so close last year, Butler is on the verge of greatness and will not be denied two times in a row.
I actually have to disagree on UConn being the superior team. They really only have two players, Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lamb (who has really on come on as of late but has scored double figures since the beginning of the Big East Tournament). Occasionally, Shaz Napier steps it up, but, for the most part, they have Walker and Lamb and that's pretty much it.
Butler plays defense like WVU plays defense. It's nasty, physical, and gritty. They outhustle you and they outrebound you (rebounding has been a BIG issue with Connecticut though they've stepped it up some since starting their run, they still get outrebounded on the offensive side quite often and usually by quite a bit).
I think Butler has a very good chance of taking the trophy home from this matchup and I'm pulling for them to do it.
I would agree with mors, UConn isn't the superior team but they do have the superior player. Kemba Walker has been unbelievable since the start of the Big East tourney and nobody has been able to find a way to shut him down. I think the game will come down to him. If Butler can find a way to put the clamps on him they win.
Frank Martin to Miami rumors keep swirling. I guess he's going to lose his best player to graduation, and he's from the Miami area. Probably more mob ties down there than in Manhattan
