As an optimist, I always see the glass as half-full. Naturally, I view my Final Four predictions as half-correct. My pick of VCU rattled in and out like a couple Joey Rodriguez three-pointers; while my pick of UConn was as clutch as Kemba Walker. Thus bringing us to tonight's National Championship Game.
Once again David puts on his Butler jersey, pets Blue II, gets a pep talk from Coach Stevens and tries to slay Goliath in the National Championship. This time Goliath is Jim Calhoun, Kemba Walker, Shabazz Napier, Two National Championships, Four Final Fours, the Maui Invitational Champs, the Big East Tournament Champs and the entire Nutmeg State.
This should be a tremendous game and no matter who wins, both teams should be commended. Butler for proving last season's Tournament run was no fluke and UConn for proving that even finishing 9th in your conference doesn't mean you can't win tournament games.
These Bulldogs can transform from underdogs to lead dogs with a win tonight. Calhoun and Kemba can cap an unbelievable season with a win tonight. This will be a classic. To quote Bart Scott: "CAN'T WAIT!"
That being said, I'm going with: UConn 67, Butler 65.
