They can take out Kentucky as far as I'm concerned, but don't let them touch WVU.
SLC
I think the last team to win with a freshmen leading the way was Syracuse with Carmelo. Wall is not that good. I know he's got some talent around him, but I just don't see a freshmen point guard getting it done. Not this year, anyway.
I like a couple of the more experienced guys still standing. Turner and Lighty from the Buckeyes stand out in my eyes as the team to beat, especially given the road they now have in front of them. No more Kansas, G-town, or MD. Not saying they're gonna coast, but they should be able to beat everyone left standing without draining themselves before the Final Four matchup.
Bah, you just got lucky.Congratulations, Butler! You're going to the Elite Eight, just like my bracket predicted.
Oy, stupid Syracuse. There goes my bracket. And here I was thinking it was going to be smooth sailing to the win without all the Kansas-picking folks in the way. Clearly, I jinxed it, right?
At least your champion is still in it. At most I can only have one Final Four team be correct - I don't think I've ever chosen so poorly!
Does anybody think expanding the tournament to include 96 teams is a good idea? It might make the NCAA more money for the first few years, but it's currently the best sporting event on the planet. So why mess with it?
Ok, I might get an argument from World Cup Soccer (Football) fans.

Not too young to win though huh ?
No kidding! I bet this win punched his ticket to coach a bigger market team sometime soon too.
EDIT - I just read this:
After coaching Butler into the second round of the NCAAs last season, Brad Stevens was awarded with a contract extension through the 2014-2015 season. The terms of the contract were not disclosed, although he likely is earning close to $900,000 in base salary.
That's more than I expected from a small private school! Impressive!
