Butler took out PItt and SYR after both won the conference. No way any self-respecting BE fan should even nod at those be-arches from the Horizon.

Well, if it bout the Benjamins then it is to me accusable...just say'n...

A. They don't illegally recruit. That makes me like them.
B. They play in Dayton every year against Wright State (I live in Dayton). That makes me like them.
C. My son, who is 3, picked them to win his brackets. No guidance from me... I laughed when my wife gave me his bracket and I told her that it was a waste of $5 to turn it in. 3 weeks later he has a chance to win it all, while my bracket can do no better than 8th in the pool I run. If Butler wins he gets $185.

Therefore, I say go Butler.

Go Butler. I have a few friends trying to hide out from the job market in grad school at UConn and it'd be funny to watch their artificial school pride get flushed down after it just started peaking. Though I did win almost $10k by picking UConn over UK so perhaps I should go for two in a row and pull for the Huskies. Decisions, decisions.

How long before Butler's and VCU's coaches are coaching in the B10, ACC, or Big East?

Well when Pitino retires-(and I see that as sooner rather then later) I like Shaka Smart. He seems hungry and reminds me of a Young Pitino when he was @ Providence.

... quadrupling his salary, from around $300k a year to $1.2m per year.

he owes his players a huge 'thank you' for these past 3 weeks ...
