It was easily one of the ugliest basketball games I have ever seen and even I found myself wanting to change the channel several times. I decided to put some money on Connecticut with the point spread before the game though. I just couldn't resist, I knew Butler would run out of gas in this game. But as much as I wanted to change the channel, I couldn't. It was like watching the money come to me. Hell, it isn't even that much. It's really just all of the $50 I should be collecting from a previous bet anyway. As many fans know by now, Butler shot an atrocious 12-64 from the field last night. That breaks down to 9-33 from 3 point range and an astounding 3-31 from inside the arc. That means Butler made less than 10 percent of their layups for the most part. UCONN didn't look all that much better and if this game was against anyone else, they probably would have lost. But Butler had the worst night in NCAA Men's Championship history. For that, UCONN gets to enjoy an NCAA title.4.05.2011
Congrats to UCONN

It may have been the worst title game, but it was a great tournament. UConn sure knows how to win ugly. Butler had a good run; they just ran into a long-overdue poor shooting night and a tough Big East defense. UConn closed out on the Butler shooters very well all night long.

you are correct about that. at halftime, most people i think were expecting butler to come out flat. and that they did.
