@gamerman01:
3-31 on 2 point shot attempts. Unwatchable. I never watched a minute of the NCAA tournament, and boy am I glad. I’d rather watch an NBA regular season game between the worst 2 teams in the league than watch 40 second shot clocks and Butler clanging 28 out of 31 shots and heaving up 33 3’s.
This game was pretty anticlimactic. The tourney was very entertaining, more upsets than last year.
The reality is that UConn’s defense was preventing most penetration by Butler, so shooting 3s were about their only chance. That doesn’t excuse their terrible inside and shooting game, but had just a few of all those shots gone in, this would have have been a very close game. UConn could have beaten them much worse too.
