NCAA basketball fans that I've talked to like Butler over LSU.

I can't find anyone (outside of LSU fans) who think that LSU will beat Butler.

heck many LSU fans think Butler will own LSU. LSU has played like crap the past 2 weeks. Its a very favorable matchup for Butler on paper.

Butler is this decade's Gonzaga, like Gonzaga was in the mid to late 90's...a team that not a lot of people really know a whole lot about, but people know they usually do well in the tourney. Plus, most people just have that much disrespect for the SEC in general this season.

I apologize in advance and I mean this in the nicest possible way, but you are an f'ing idiot.

LSU is FAVORED. I guarantee you 50+% of the country is picking LSU. You take a sample size of 6 of your buddies and come to the conclusion that nobody is picking LSU? So Vegas has the line for LSU and everybody is betting on Butler.

In Yahoo's pool the distribution shows Butler at 48.7% and LSU at 46.1. Pretty close

But I mean most 8/9 games are usually 50/50, and by far the hardest games to pick

Well actually if you go to Yahoo, and make your picks and you click the tab nest to the matchup that gives you the info about the two teams playing, it shows 51/49 in favor of Butler

ESPN is the whole country? Either way, its close to 50/50 as you would expect for an 8/9 game. "Everybody" is certainly not picking Butler.
