Butler University recently went up against Duke in the championship game of the NCAA Tournament. This is the first time they have ever gotten this far. This year they had several star players such as Gordon Heyward and Matt Howard. These two players are just a small portion of the phenominal team that played against Duke. Butler lost by only two and this was another factor that made the game memorable. Most teams that played Duke were beat by a much larger margin by the end of the game.
I think that Butler has finally been put on the map in the NCAA because of their season. Lots of people underestimated their skill because they weren't in a very challenging conference. Also people looked at their coach as too young and inexperienced. Butler really showed all of its critics how good they could be. They upset many teams, including Kansas State to get to the championship game and held their own against a very good and experienced team. Butler proved that not all big schools are the best ones. I think its like the movie Hoosiers the way they went to thc championship. It doesnt even matter that they didnt win.
