2016 NCAA Thurs - 3 BE Games - Butler, PC, Seton Hall...

[Masterofreality]

What? A Big East team that is from a league that was "dead" and a "circus" won against a Big, Bad Unbeatable Large 12 team? All college basketball pundits are in meltdown mode right now.

Well done Butler....Well done!

Great game Butler! I was a little nervous in the first half but you guys coposed yourself and did a great job battling and pulled away late in the second half. Good luck sat!

BTW UVA coach Tony Bennett just collapsed on the sideline in the first half. He returned to the sideline in the 2nd half but no word on his issue.

Good W Butler. Xavier has had quite a few years being in that 7-10 seed range and all I would ask for was a shot at the big boys in round 2. Nothing to lose now go give it to Virginia. They don't score a ton so if your offense is on and you can limit second chances you have a good shot.

Good win, Butler! Hopefully we and Providence will add two more tonight.

Evidently, Butler is 9-1 in the last 10 NCAA openers. They still have never lost to a lower seed which seems unlikely to end this year.

Friars and Pirates on deck...

Set on Hall tip delayed an hour. Great news. Can catch both big east wins tonight.

KrisDunn's 2nd foul was garbage, but that's why he was not smart picking up that first one so early away from theball. That was just stupid play. His foul issues have been a problem all year, and tonight it hit them.

Let's hope the overcoe. Ye are clearly the better team when he's out there. Cartwright into the lane all day at will if they want it.

[Xudash]

Run some damn offense and slow down a little.

The Friars aren't valuing their possessions.

If Providence thinks the can win this game shooting 25 threes, I respectfully disagree with them. Better start attacking the lane and getting to the line
