Hey everybody, I just wanted to inform you that today is Selection Sunday... just in case you weren't aware. If you notice the time of my post, I would
like for you to know that I rarely wake up this early on a Sunday morning, and you probably know why I'm up right now. One thought that came to my mind
recently. The last time I wasn't surprised by our seeding was 2001. It will be worth keeping that in mind when the bracket is revealed.

I wish we could all just agree now that some, most or all of us will probably be unhappy with the draw. Instead, we should put ourselves back in to October and
realize how remote we thought a thread like this would be. Regardless of what transpires tonight, I think we should just accept our fate, expect a first round
win, then watch and see how our second round opponent chooses to attempt to exploit our young team. I'm not writing this year off, but I can't wait for
the next two!
Edit....... The moment Seth Davis says "watch for Butler to be a victim of a 1st round upset....... bank on it" then all in the world is right!

I really don't care too much about where Butler is seeded. It's more about matchups. I'd love to see the Dawgs as a 7 seed, win the first game and
take on a 2 seeded Duke in the second round.

I've got to agree with Stax, who in the world would have thought this team would go 25-5 and even been considered for an AT-LARGE BID TO THE NCAA
TOURNAMENT. No matter what seed we get these kids will still make us proud to be Butler Bulldog fans. Good Luck boys!

All in all, the young Dawgs played well while on the road! They should be well rested. Hopefully, their nagging injuries have had time to heal. I, also, cannot
believe how well this team played this year.
I hope that Blue 2 is a good traveler! I heard that Blue 2 really likes Detroit in April. |

I don't think they will let Blue II travel to the NCAA. I'm pretty sure he tried last year, but they said that they will not allow live mascots at the
tournament games.
