UConn prevails as they defeat Butler in the Championship game. Jim Calhoun becomes the oldest coach to ever win the title. Butler lead after the half, but UConn took over, going on a 22-3 run. Jim Calhoun now joins an elite group of coaches that won more than 3 titles. For the second year in a row, Butler slips and loses the championship

UConn escapes Kentucky 56-55. Kemba Walker was dominant, with 9 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds in the first half. But Kentucky made a run with multiple 3-pointers in the second half, cutting the lead to single digits. But the key was the Kentucky only made 4/12 free throws. Now UConn faces Butler for the notional title. Butler wins!

Butler advances to the Championship round for the second year in a row, defeating VCU 70-62. Butler was denied their championship last year against Duke. This year may be no easier as Kentucky or UConn will take on the Bulldogs.

So the Final 4 is set. It features No. 3 Connecticut, No. 4 Kentucky, No. 8 Butler, and No. 11 VCU. For No. 3 UConn against Kentucky, my pick would be UConn because of their man Kemba Walker. He is one of the best players in the NCAA in my opinion. For VCU and Butler, Butler moves on again to the championship round. My pick for the Champ? Butler redeems themselves after losing to Duke last year.

Butler reaches the Final 4 for the second year in a row, defeating Florida in overtime. Last year, Butler went in the championship game against Duke, and nearly won the game as Gordon Hayward nearly made the half court shot. But now no number 1 seed remains, so Butler may have a chance this year

Butler stuns Pittsburgh in an amazing finish. With 2.2 seconds left, with Pittsburgh inbounding, a player gets fouled and makes 1 free throw. BUT on the second free throw, he misses, and a Butler player gets the rebound, but HE gets fouled. He makes the free throw to upset Pittsburgh and me because now my braket's COMPLETELY messed up, including my final 4.
