Butler Vs. UConn Tonight: Who Will Take The Title?
Virginia Commonwealth University’s storybook run from play-in game to Final Four ended Saturday night, as Butler will be crashing the NCAA’s title game for the second year in a row.
Shelvin Mack paced the Bulldogs with 24 points on five for six three-point shooting, and Butler downed VCU 70-62 in a hard fought battle that was closer than its final score.
In Saturday’s second match up, University of Connecticut held off Kentucky 56-55 after UK had come storming back from a ten point halftime deficit. An almost six minute scoreless stretch late in the second half ultimately doomed the Wildcats' bid to reach the finals.
