Last night I watched the Division I Men's Basketball National Championship game hoping that Butler would be able to do what it couldn't last year: Complete the Cinderella Story and come out with a championship and a "happily ever after". However the Bulldogs did the farthest thing from it and were dismantled by the University of Connecticut Huskies. Butler only shot 18% from the field and couldn't get the advantage on the inside. UConn also had a poor shooting performance (only 34% from the field), but they were able to use their size and rack up points and rebounds in the paint. It has been two consecutive years that Butler has made it to the National Championship the underdog, only to walk away defeated and heartbroken. Hopefully, Butler will be able to make it back to the championship game in the future and come away with a win, but maybe the glass slipper just doesn't fit exactly right.
