The Butler Bulldogs and the UConn. Huskies will go at it for all the marbles in the Men's NCAA Basketball Championship Game on Monday night in Houston, Texas.
The Bulldogs are back in the title game for the second straight year (losing to Duke by two points in 2010) and the Huskies are seeking their first championship since 2004, when they knocked off surprising Georgia Tech in the championship game.
It should be an exciting game and the Bulldogs just might prevail this time around. But UConn. has shown much resilience themselves as they have won ten straight games, going back to the five wins in five nights they put up in the Big East Tournament three weeks ago.
Butler meanwhile, knocked off mighty Pittsburgh (from the Big East) two weeks ago to advance to the Sweet 16. The Bulldogs are in the title game after winning a thriller over "Cinderella" team Virginia Commonwealth in the National Semi-Finals yesterday.
UConn. knocked off Kentucky by one point in the other semi-final game.
Look for a tight contest with both teams playing tenacious defense throughout.
Free throws may make the difference in the final score and the call here (for what it's been worth in this year's tournament) is for the Huskies to prevail in a hard fought 62-60 win.
But DO NOT bet on that.
After all, the Bulldogs have lived up to their name all through March and into April as well.
Stay tuned!
I don't know if those Bullodgs can pull it off, but I'm sure pullin' for them.
