There goes that side of my bracket!
74-68 final, UNLV wins.
I hate Bucky, but damn that screwed up part of my bracket!
Happy to say I dod not have them in the Sweet 16 from teh moment I saw UNLV/GT below them.
Yep same here navin. I picked UNLV in this one. Well now we don't have to hear of any comeback story if Butch would have played....cause its not like they ever mentioned it during the 2 games Wisconsin played.
Phoenix sportscaster just said UW was hampered w/o Brian Butch, and is a different team w/o him. Must be a wisco grad.
Let the whinning begin!
It's funny how we didn't really hear anything about Butch until he got hurt. His numbers were similar to Ousmane's and I really don't think we would fall apart if we lost him. Plus they had a whole month to play without him.
I do find it pretty funny that Ousmane averaged a half point less than Butch and over a rebound more per game. Ousmane barely played high school ball and is in his third year with the program. Butch was a McDonald's All-American in his fourth year with the program after becoming probably the only McDonald's All-American ever to get redshirted.
Maybe they would have liked to be without their best player for the last 4 games. I can't wait to see them try to fill the void of Tucker and Taylor next year.
