Drake VS. Butler
Probably the greatest game any of us will ever have a chance to watch in our lifetime. Both teams will show you how basketball is supposed to be played. This Saturday at 5 pm. Please mark your calendars.




PS. Bracketbusters are gods gift to basketball fans. Greatest matchups ever!

Besides Duke and Georgetown, is there a more overrated team than Butler this year?

how are they overated?? because their style of play doesnt allow them to blow people out?

They won at So Ill, a place VERY few teams can say that. They destroyed Florida St(who just beat Duke), they beat Texas Tech(who beat A&m and KState), destroyed Ohio St, Va Tech, Bradley. They are far from overated

You're using the old, they beat them who beat them and them argument?

Will fade them in the tourney, Will not win more than one game in the tourney IMO

very false. They are the same team tat made a run to the Elite 8 a couple years ago and everyone said the same thing. If you cant go by who they beat, what can you go by?

Texas Tech is really an impressive win to you?

All I know is Butler's strength of schedule is right now at 140

Only team in the Top 35 of the RPI with a worst strength of schedule is St. Mary's. Doesn't bode well for long tourney runs

Taking 37 3 pointers in a game and only getting to the FT line twice, once with 1 second left when it meant nothing, is how basketball is supposed to be played? Despite winning, thats what Butler did last night. Don't get me wrong, this will be a very good game between 2 evenly matched teams, but dont overhype the Greatest Game ever thing with this one...
