For the record I want the team with the Academic All-American coach to lose the final to the team with the 12 year old coach - that way the BEast gets adequate redemption but the trophy goes to the team that we smoked that isn't unbearable. duck fuke

As much as I am a Big East or bust type of guy, I think the storybook nature of Butler playing in Indianapolis with a 33 yo local boy done good at the helm is so irresistibly appealing a human interest story, I will be hard-pressed not to root for Butler to win it all.
Also, I think I'd have to start hanging out with the Devil if I rooted for Huggy Bear to win it all.

I feel like I have been watching a Big 10 regular season game. I am finding myself doing other things during this game because it can't keep my attention.

Way to go Butler.
Good thing Nantz is not coaching - he thought it was tied at 50-49. Putz.

Good outcome. We're promised a Good vs. Evil game on Monday.

Does Nantz drink during the games?

I know Howard is a fouling machine but his first and fourth were both pretty ridiculous, and his second was questionable.
Hayward can really, really play. Butler's guards all have incredibly quick hands. Veasley and Mack are remarkable, but Nored is in a class by himself.
Hopefully the officials loosen up with the whistle in the second game.

CBS' announcers can hype that game all it wants. It was horrible to watch.

All four teams in the final four have mental toughness and great cohesion.
Our team struggled with both all year. Overall, we are an overcoached team where the players instincts are taken away too much.

What a sad state of affairs when that first game is the collective best effort of two of the Final Four teams. Sometimes good defense is credited when the true culprit is lousy offense. Bad passing and horrible shooting do not make for exciting basketball. The saving grace was that they were almost equally inept and therefore a close game followed.

Georgetown is not in the 2010 Final Four; therefore, your post about Georgetown in the "2010 Final Four Discussion" thread is misplaced. Please start a new thread for this kind of nonsense. The mods can then lock that thread and let the rest of us discuss the Final Four here.

Overall, we are an overcoached team where the players instincts are taken away too much. I think our team just doesn't have any clue on how to play defense. And we are FAR from overcoached defensively. And that was our main problem this year and why we aren't in the final four.

Is there a special rule where Brian Zoubek is allowed to set moving screens because he's a big dumb oaf and the normal screening rules apply to everyone else?

Agreed. It's hard to make the argument that we are overcoached when its pretty clear our major deficiency is defense. WVU, Duke, Butler....hard to say that any of those teams are all that more talented or offensively-gifted then us. They just play light-years-better defense.

I am not really getting this Zoubek as an o-rebounding machine. It is shocking to me.
