NCAA Basketball National Championship Game

Butler Bulldogs VS Connecticut Huskies

I will be rooting as hard as I can for those Butler Bulldogs. I love when less talented teams come in and stun the big boys, and Butler would have done it a number of times during their tournament run. Coming in as an 8-seed is no easy task, you play a tough team in Round 1 and then a #1-seed in Round 2. After that, nobody knows for sure, but the Bulldogs had to go through Wisconsin and then Florida to get into the Final Four – then they had to oust a VCU team that came in playing better basketball than anyone in the tournament. I’ll be rooting for them alright, but that doesn’t mean I think they’re going to win.

In fact, my money is on Connecticut. As smart as Butler plays, and as consistently effective as they are, I just think Kemba Walker, Lamb, and their cast of role players will be too much for the Bulldogs. Kemba Walker was the best player in college basketball this year, and those that want to argue for Jimmer need to re-watch all his games and pay attention to the defensive side of the ball. Walker was his teams’ offense and he was one of the best defensive players on the court every time he laced them up. Plus, he’s COLD BLOODED. Kemba has hit big shot after big shot, and he really can get a good shot off any time.

Butler will be a tough challenge, no doubt, and this game could go either way – but the Huskies could eliminate a tough low-post presence from Butler, because they have plenty of big athletes all over the court. I hope I’m wrong! But I’m taking UConn.
