Butler Vs. UConn
Monday Night, the Bulldogs and Huskies are in a dogfight for the National title. Butler had to win its Conference tournament to get a spot in the dance and UConn won the Big East title after five straight wins in as many days. Both teams are on a roll going into this one.

And they had eleven chances at getting a team there.
 There are entire conferences (including the Horizon League) that don't even have eleven teams total in it.

I'm going to root for Butler, on principle, even though their coach appears to be about 12.

UConn will probably win, assuming Kemba's OK, but I have mixed feelings about it.

If they weren't on a roll they would be out.

Not really. A team can be struggling before the Tournament and then get going. UConn and Butler have been doing that for a good while now.

Don't start again Kace. Every team in the championship game is on a winning streak.
Thats just the way it works.

I didn't start anything (other than the thread). And, "again," is also incorrect since it would indicate that I was trying to start an argument previous, which I wasn't.

No, you couldn't..... Butler barely won two games to advance....not too dominant are they? UConn is 10-0 in their last 10 games........8 of which were played against teams that were ranked in the top 25. Name me another team who played in the championship game in NCAA history that meets this criteria. Now that is a team on a roll...
