I'm thrilled Butler beat Michigan State but that game was brutal to watch. Butler made one field goal in the final 12 minutes and still managed to win. This is college basketball at its finest?
Also, I'm not so sure Draymond Green wasn't fouled by Gordon Hayward with eight seconds left. Actually, I'm pretty sure he was. Scratch that: he was clearly fouled. No call made, no free throws taken, and thus Michigan State didn't have a chance to take a 51-50 lead with a pair of foul shots.
Whatever. I'm thrilled for Butler, which was one of the 10 best teams all season long (and if you watched games this season beyond just the power conferences, you knew that going into the tournament). And kudos to Tom Izzo on leading Michigan State to another Final Four, this time without his best player, Kalin Lucas. No one does better in March than Izzo (although, I'll be the first to admit his Aprils leave much to be desired with only one national championship in six trips to the Final Four).
