I just checked the early line of the NCAA Championship game this Monday night and was surprised to see that Butler is getting 4 points. I know Butler is a small school and does not face the day-to-day Big East competition like the Huskies do, but my gut tells me that their experience of having played in last year's final, and their team-oriented offense will make up for the lack of big name opponents on their schedule.

To my mind, +4 points is a lot in a title game. I'll take the Bulldogs and the points in this one.

Having watched a great deal of the tourney this year. I think Butler getting four points would be a good bet. They have this team thing going and I also think that want it bad for not winning it last year.

I expect it to be close. UConn is coming of age though, probably up to the task. Good play would be a teaser with Butler and the over. Don't be surprised if this game goes to overtime and UConn comes out ahead.

don't know if anyone wants to but anyone want to place a bet on the game? I'll take butler on points for like $5 bucks. Just a small wager

Yeah, horrible game. Butler just couldn't hit the side of a barn in that wretched 2nd half. If they'd shot anything respectable it would have been very close.

Uconn perimeter D wasn't even that great but inside probably the most dominant I've seen a defense ever. 10 block shots, 2 points. Not the way this great tourney should have finished

Kemba Walker is soo overrated. he won't do shit in the NBA.

5-19 shooting is terribad and he averages like 22 shots per game. don't like him.

i do like jeremy lamb though. cool kid.

Butler had the lowest field goal percentage in the history of the NCAA tournament with 18.8% yesterday.
