The Lone Granger Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I'm going to say that for the second year in a row, Butler overcomes all the odds to make it to the Final Four. Do I think they'll win in their Final Four matchup? I honestly do. Now to explain why I think they'll beat Florida this afternoon. Matt Howard and Shelvin Mack are the two biggest names on this Butler team, but I want to bring up another guy that needs to come up huge for them. Shawn VanZant is that starting guard along with Mack in Butler's backcourt. Not sure if all of you watched the game against Wisconsin, but he started out the game very strong and scored 8 points in the first half. They'll need him to put up the same kind of performance in both halfs tonight to beat a very strong Florida team. The Gators' defense isn't as good as Wisconsin's was, but I can promise you they aren't going to miss the number of shots that the Badgers did.

Make It Naaaashty Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) The Gators should be able to feed their big guys on offense with the lack of size Butler has. Walker and Boynton have been shooting lights out from the perimeter so Butler will be in trouble if try run a zone or double the post. Maclin and Tyus will have success today in the post and on the offensive boards. Whichever team controlls the boards will come out with the win, which I think will be Florida.

Cobb Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Shelvin Mack is lighting up the Gators so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make It Naaaashty Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Something good is always happening for the Gators when they are feeding the ball to Macklin, dude can score at will against Smith or any other Butler big. On another note, Walker needs to be patient and not force. He will get his open shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Butler can't buy a shot right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lone Granger Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Very competitive first half that ends with Florida leading Butler 33-32. The Bulldogs haven't been able to get Matt Howard going, as he only has 4. As for Florida, their inside game has been killing Butler all night. Mack having a big game already with 14 though.

Make It Naaaashty Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Complete domination by the Florida froncourt, Tyus and Macklin have 33 of the Gators 43 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 This 3-2 zone is giving Butler problems. Not enough dribble drives and too much passing on the perimeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Blasco Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Florida has a lot more talent than Butler. It's easier for the Gators to create points than it is for Butler to create points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Not a good possession by Butler. Terrible shot by Howard, due to Mack holding on to the long too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Just got home from umpiring some baseball, good to see we are winning 47-40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Last three Butler possessions have ended with Howard missing 3's. Not what Stevens wants I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) And great steal and layup by Boykin. And is it just me or is the black guy commentating extremely bias towards Butler? Edited March 26, 2011 by .50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
