    Butler takes a one point lead with 2.2 seconds left, but then gets a foul call against them with 1.4 seconds left. Pitt makes one and misses one, Butler gets the rebound and unbelievably gets fouled with .4 sec left. Their player makes one and misses one the Pitt player grabs the ball and throws it the length of the court and it came close to going in.

    Butler by 1, Pitt the first number one seed eliminated.

    The Gators bracket.

    Didn't see that, but I did see the Jimmer Show. He's the most exciting player in college basketball. You have to wonder how good BYU would be with that player who was dismissed from the team.

    re: Butler-Pitt
    I saw that game and as much as I hate to admit it, the refs were right on both fouls. It's a tough way to lose a game, but Butler won fair and square. That sure did screw up my brackets. I had Pitt in the final Four...

    re: Jimmer Fredette
    How in the hell did that kid wind up at BYU? He's Catholic you know. Is this another Jim McMahon situation?
