When you think of Butler basketball you immediately flash back to last years national championship game against Duke where sophomore star Gordon Hayward’s last second miracle heave from half-court hit the rim and bounced out.
Time went on and Hayward went the NBA where he where he was drafted by the Utah Jazz. With losing the college basketball star no one thought the Bulldogs would make another tournament run like last year.
Coach Brad Stevens has proved some people wrong along with his experienced team, the Bulldogs look to take on VCU in the Final Four game that will decide their fate for the contention of the national championship. And this tournament has certainly been madness as it is the first time in tournament history that no #1 or #2 seeds are remaining.
This certainly gives way to a dramatic Final Four matchup between VCU and Butler as well as Kentucky and University of Connecticut. Many college basketball analysts say they favor Butler to win it all because of how phenomenal their team play is in every game. Butler will look to return to the national championship stage again as they face the rolling VCU Rams Saturday at 6:09 PM.
