Wife doesn't want Calhoun to quit

I didn't watch the game... but, the score of 53-41 tells me that had to be one ugly game to view.

In the second half, Butler couldn't have dropped the ball in the ocean if they were standing on the dock...and not all the shots were contested.

Me too brotha, I think he should retire, it is time.

I am hereby eating my words. The Big East is the greatest basketball conference of all time and deserved more than 11 spots in the tourney! They are the equivalent of the SEC in college football.

Or she doesn't want him chasing her arse around the house....

Butler had a record low 18.8% FG shooting in the game. They couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with a handful of beans, even from inside the barn. I'd never seen anything like it. Counting FT attempts, Butler and UConn combined missed 100 shots in the game. Clearly, it was a defensive battle.

Too bad for the Butler Bulldogs. The glass slipper didn't fit again.

Go Commodores.

Hulkleberry, I thought they were 8th.

Or maybe 10th.

Butler couldnt score to save their lives, if they had shot with a "normal" scoring percentage they probably would have won by at least 10 points vs losing by that much...

It was brutal. Butler shot 18% for the game. Props to UCONN though, very good defense. 3 NC's in 12 years. Hard to ignore. That's impressive. What's more impressive is that they finished tied for 9th in their conference. Great run to end the year.

Top to bottom they are certainly the deepest.

That was great defense played by Conn, and it must have been a record for blocked shots. The never got an easy shot that second half.
Game over.

Not only didn't the glass slipper not fit but Cinderella fell down the stairs.

I didn't realize how much bigger they were. They really did play great defense.

I am biased, a Syracuse fan, but so many league games against athletic, physical opponents does prepare you for something.
Like SEC football. You know what a street fight is. You get them on a weekly basis.

And faster. Credit Butler, that is for sure, but there are athletes and then there are Athletes.

On the heels of violations, investigations, etc...

... he and coach K both need to move on.

These last two title games revealed some morbidly flawed and ugly basketball "champions".

Last year's Duke team and this year's UConn team are the two worst title teams that Calhoun and Kryzeski have coached.

That's one perspective...

.. the other is, they were a flawed team that was able to overcome other flawed teams to obtain the title.

Second year in a row where a team with noticeable flaws won the title.

College basketball quality is really slipping.
