You're crazy. Shaka was "smart" to stay. This Final 4 will have legs for nearly a decade at VCU. He knows he needs more experience. Besides, I heard the VCU matched his NC State offer. He can get VCU to the tourney a lot easier than NC State and he don't have to worry about players bouncing to the NBA. Besides, he is now king of Richmond and the city is in love with him. WHo needs big name schools when u are getting paid like one $$$?

Why go to a graveyard school where you are always looking up at UNC and Duke's ass all the time? It's like Barcelona and Read Madrid every year. If he went to NC State, then he'll be fired within 3 years if he can't meet expectation and get them in deep in the tourney. Heck, look at Anthony Grant....if he doesn't step it up then he may get axed.

NIT ain't good enough for the big boys.

Butler's made pretty much every open shot I've seen them take. But okay, clearly they suck at shooting.

(they haven't many open looks)

They've made six shots TOTAL. SIX. So a few were open, well guess what not every shot is going to be open. Missing contested shots, or not creating better shot opportunities, is bad basketball.

I understand that for many of you this is the 4th college basketball game you've watched all year, so I guess the ignorance is forgivable.

However, you're still wrong!

In case it seems like I'm trolling, I'm not. The NBA would look similar to this if not for the way they call the games (travelling, star treatment)

Yeah going 6 for 27 is fantastic basketball. Somebody should tell Kobe Bryant he had an excellent shooting night in game 7 of the Finals cause all this time he thought he sucked!

They're up by 3, bro. Best two teams in the country!

In a vacuum I wouldn't be making this argument, but it just so happens that I actually watched the first half. It was not poorly played by any stretch of the imagination.

Way to be a dick.

They are missing a lot of open shots and not getting to teh rim or good looks.

That is a bad thing.

Yes, and it makes for shit basketball. But there's lots of points scored, so I'm sure you'll like it. Give it a try (there's probably a game going on right now!)

The whole of Butler could deal with this advice. Unfortunately for them UConn is fond of shot-blocking, so it's pretty much all jump shots all night.

It's closer to the actual game of basketball. If you don't like basketball, that's okay too. There's a whole professional association made especially for you.

He can't get a decent shot up in the paint against Utah's bigs. If he spotted up anywhere inside of 20ft he might be useful today.

Ugh what is butlers shooting percentage? This is just awful... Pick it up!!

It's basically up to Mack and Howard at this point. They need to get a little 2 man game going, that's the only matchup they have on that end.

Just walked by Gampel Pavillion while I was going to get food. There's tons of people in there. Also UConn has hired a DJ sitting outside the building.

I also overheard kids talking about what buildings they're going to burn down tonight.
