I think I like VCU in the championship over Butler, especially against Kentucky. My biggest fear watching them is getting cold from downtown. VCU lives by the 3 and they stroke it like no other. Without the 3, they're capable of losing by 30.
I think Butler has the best shot to take it all, against either team.
For my sisters and wife (All UC alums) I'm rooting for UConn tonight, and will be neutral Monday if they win, otherwise I'm all in for the winner of this one.
VCU is a very well coached team. Some have suggested they just got hot, which they did, but they are well coached. They have given up rebounds, but they are boxing out. Just slow to the ball. Their help D and awareness are sound. I don't see lapses, like we had all year.
I'm not saying they aren't well coached. I just think Butler is better coached. VCU relies on 3's and jump shots. They've been hot during their tourney run but it only takes one bad shooting night for it all to come crashing down. They can beat anybody while they are on fire though. They can also lose to anybody while they are cold. Jmo.
