I hate this fricking Big 10 style stall ball that Butler plays. But I can't deny that it's effective.

They've been letting that go all tournament. That's not a foul.

Is this bad offense or good defense?

So, maybe we should just let the winners of the regular season BCS conferences play.

For some reason I'm actually enjoying this game. The defense really has been spectacular. Rotation from both teams has been stellar.

Saturday night, the UConn student section looked like Detroit's Fox Theater an hour into Charlie Sheen's "Violent Torpedos of Truth" stage show debut -- mostly empty. The school was allotted the same 800 seats as the three other participating teams, but the cost of travel from Storrs, Conn., was too high for the average student.

Tonight, as the Huskies and Bulldogs take the court to warm up for the national title game, UConn's student section looks decidedly fuller. Turns out the University of Connecticut called for a little backup.

Students from both Rice University and the Unversity of Houston were offered free tickets to tonight's game, provided they hang out in the UConn section and fill up some of that empty space. Student athletes from UH and the entire student body from Rice were emailed via list serve this morning, with the offer of a free ticket to each of the first 300 respondents from each school.

Included in the crowd are a number of UH football players, including quarterback Case Keenum, who had Heisman aspirations before a knee injury ended his 2010 season early. Keenum brought some muscle with him in the form of a handful of defensive lineman, sure to beef up UConn's dog pound. UConn's fan base gets a little extra speed too, as UH running backs Marc Woods and Marcus Williams, and receiver Pat Edwards, also picked up tickets.

One defensive lineman -- who will remain nameless -- said he's from Indiana and secretly rooting for Butler. Surrounded by UConn students (and Huskies fans for a day) he said he'll keep his hometown ties quiet. Good thing for him UConn will take anybody they can get -- literally, any body.

good D, UConn would love to run up and down the court but Butler isn't allowing them to do so

but UConn has been a good team consistently the past 10 years

Butler has been the best mid-major over the last 10 years, outside of Memphis maybe.

Both have built great programs, obviously UConn's is just at a higher level against higher competition. However, when Butler gets to the tournament, they have proven time and time again that they can hang with and beat the big boys.
