I completely agree, if I was Butler I would feel totally disrespected.

no team that goes 29-3 is a fraud team. No way this team deserved a#7 seed.

They might get beat, but I don't think this is a fraud team.....It's actually a team that I really enjoy that win with class and do things the right way.

They deserve what they got.

Skippy, the seedings arent about who covered, its about who wins...Butler lost 2 league road games by 1 and 4 points and then lost to Drake on bracketbuster day. They beat everyone else they played including Michigan, Virginia tech, Ohio St., Florida St., Texas tech, S. Illinois, and Bradley outside their conference. Plus the fact they have proven themselves in tournament play in past years, which seems to carry some weight with the major conference teams( Arizona comes to mind) but apparently not the mid majors. Doesnt matter I guess, they will beat USA then give Tenn all they can handle...

Its about consistency.

Butler hasn't been consistent.

I've been a big Butler hater, but I think they could make a run.
