NCAA-R2: Butler v Middle Tennessee - 7:10pm, 3/18/17...

From Milwaukee, home of Harvey's Wallbangers in 1982... and the 1971 Milwaukee Bucks NBA Champions... and the 1977 NCAA National Champion Marquette Warriors... the Butler Bulldogs continue their drive to a 3rd Final Four in the last 9 years, and national championship of their own.

Saturday 03/18/2017
Butler vs Middle Tennessee State, 7:10pm.

Bulldogs get a good team here in the 2nd round. The Blue Raiders bumped off Minnesota on Thursday. I'm a huge admirer of Butler and Chris Holtmann. Love their roster, very balanced, very solid, never rattled. Huge game for the Big East to cap off the weekend in a big way.

In Milwaukee and damn, the wait for this game is painful after getting the early tip Thursday! It's a simple prospect today, play well or go home. There just aren't any bad teams left. Need someone as hot as Woodson last game to jump on these guys!

I just hope Butler players know the game is at 7:10. If they wait until 7:40 to get going, probably will be headed home.

Villanova lite, showing Villanova how it's done. Congratulations guys. Stick a dagger in UNC's heart for us!

Butler has a two-game winning streak against UNC. Really like our chances. I'm assuming they'll beat Arkansas.

Had a party for the Xavier game but everybody stayed and cheered for Butler. Congrats to the Bulldogs.

The Big East is something special. It actually had me pulling for Xavier and Xavier fans pulling for Butler.

I literally made my 5 year old daughter cry by jumping up to cheer and clap loudly for a Xavier 3 that put them up like 13. The cognitive dissonance was level 11.
