Butler Stuns IU...Jinx Averted
With 1:46 left in the game, Butler is up 71 to 68 on IU. Butler has played unbelieveable in the second half, but Andrew Smith just fouled out after abusing Zeller all game.
EDIT#1. Game on CBS. IU down 2 with 1:14 left
EDIT#2. OT...
Butler wins 88 to 86 in OT
Brad Stevens is a hell of a coach!

Brad Stevens proves again he is one of the best coaches in the nation.
December 15th, 2012 at 4:38 PM ^
As a Butler Alum... Go Dawgs!!!
and Go Blue against WVU tonight!!!!
December 15th, 2012 at 4:38 PM ^
WOOOOWOOOOO!!!
December 15th, 2012 at 4:39 PM ^
Up to number two if we beat wvu
December 15th, 2012 at 4:39 PM ^
Damn this IU-Butler finish is coinciding with a hell of a Arizona-Nevada bowl finish.
I'm hoping Butler wins just so the "JINX!" goons get reminded that superstition is dumb.

Holy shit....great game.

Wow. That was an amazing game. How can any neutral observer not like Butler and Coach Stevens at this point? That was just an amazing performance. You know what, scratch that. That was a tremendous performance.

Barring any letdowns by our guys, we could grab the No. 1 spot with a win in Columbus in January. Both Duke and us play nobody until the 12th/13th weekend, when they go into NC State, and we go into C-Bus
December 15th, 2012 at 4:43 PM ^
Zeller dissapeared! Butlers THREE bigs all fouled out, and yet IU lost. That is on him. Overrated
December 15th, 2012 at 4:46 PM ^
I wouldn't say overrated but after watching today, I don't think Morgan/McGary/Horford should have a problem with him.
December 15th, 2012 at 4:49 PM ^
A player of the year candidate needs to own that lineup. He didn't.
December 15th, 2012 at 4:45 PM ^
Take care of business against WVU tonight and this will be a pretty good Saturday.
December 15th, 2012 at 6:22 PM ^
Going to the game tonight? Would love to be there.

Getting Hulls in iso period works. That was a walkon who was averaging under a bucket a game who took him on Butler's last shot.

Kept waiting for Butler to crack especially after the foul trouble and comebacks Indiana had. Great game to watch. It amazes me what Brad Stevens is able to get out of his players. Keep wondering how long he'll stick around there before heading to a bigger job. He's definitely been targetted quite a few times over the last couple years.

I have 3 monitors mounted on the TV Wall, the biggest one in the middle with the smaller 2 flanking it.
The reason I bring this up is cause I have the football games on the smaller sets and one has a blue field while the other has a red field, in a word......STUPID, I mean come on, it hurts the eyes and I think maybe on the verge of giving me a headache.
Does anyone else agree with me that the NCAA should make a rule that all fields should be green, you know, like grass is supposed to look? I know that it's the fake stuff but still, it's just bad TV and gimmicky, if you want to be taken seriously as a program, make your field green IMHO.

GET OFF MY (BLUE) LAWN!

This IU loss to Butler is exactly what could have happened to M against Pitt. The Pitt game is going to end up being one of M's best wins of the year.

True, but that IU win over Kentucky was awesome.

The IU win just happened in such incredible fashion. I just re-watched that final shot and it still gives me chills and almost brings tears to my eyes, and I'm nothing close to an Indiana fan. Just an unforgettable moment.

When IU went up 4 in OT, I thought for sure that Butler was done.I love watching that team play because they never quit and never back down. Brad Stevens is amazing. Go Blue!
December 15th, 2012 at 6:37 PM ^
when it's all said and done, he could outdo Kryzaskehasewski. . .
December 15th, 2012 at 7:02 PM ^
Nice, Duke and Mich. will now be 1-2, making my MGoBlog screenname a portmanteau of college basketball dominance. Mwahahaha!! :D

if the B1G went nuts and started bringing in associate members like JHU for lacrosse and Toronto for hockey, I would imagine Butler would get a look for basketball.

Michigan has a reasonable shot at going into it's game vs. Ohio on my birthday as the #1 team in the country if NC St. can knock off Duke (in Raleigh) on the 12th.
