I think it's safe to say Stevens is gone. He might coach Butler one more year until the right school comes calling but that's it. Unbelievable. Gordon Hayward who? Mack took over like he was never there. Matt Howard = Dennis Rodman or Charles Barkley lite of the college basketball world. He can't rebound like Rodman or score like Barkley, but he's undersized, plays good d and hits important shots/free throws.

[lylsmorr]

Howard needs to put some weight on and I think he'd be a good one.

Let's go Blue II!!!!! He's lovin it.

[lylsmorr]

Unreal. Back to back NC game appearances.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. There isn't a better way to describe a team like Butler going to the National Championship two years in a row.

Sadly, I think he's Taylor Coppenrath redux.... Hell of a college ballplayer though

Been gone too long and I'm glad he's back
He's been let loose, from the noose
That's kept him hanging about
He keeps looking at the sky cause it's gettin him high
Forget the hearse cause he'll never die
He's got nine lives, dog's eyes
Usin every one of them and running wild

Cause Blue II is baaah-aaah-aack. Baaah-aaah-aaaack. Yes he's back! Back in blue!

You hear that?

Blue Two is ready to lead them back into the locker room! I love that little dog!

Great first game. Great run by VCU, and grats to Butler. They're no fluke.

And they're the BEST team in the state of Indiana.

Is there really a point in going to a "better program" when you've made two championship games in a row?

Money and resources.

How long can you sustain that type of success when you're playing in a gym that holds 10,000?

Jmo.

VCU fans show their class following the loss: (AP)
"Thousands of rowdy fans chanting “VCU! VCU!” streamed onto city streets Saturday after Virginia Commonwealth University’s remarkable season came to an end, torching trash cans and newspaper boxes, setting off firecrackers and tossing debris at police.

..." 'Fire trucks were attacked,' he wrote. 'Rocks, bricks and bottles were thrown at officers.'

Lepley also said street signs were torn down, windows broken and fires set...."
