It is Dangerously Close to Midnight, and Cinderella is still at the Dance

Unbelievable. Butler shocks second-seeded Kansas State; 63-56, to advance to its first Final Four. Ladies and gentlemen, it is getting dangerously close to midnight and Cinderella is still at the dance.

I was reading this morning that the Bulldog’s home court was used in the filming of “Hoosiers”. That, coupled with the realization that the Butler campus is a mere 5-miles from Lucas Oil Stadium, undoubtedly makes this the best fairy-tale team remaining in the tournament.

The Bad News Baylor Bears are arguably the next best story to get behind now that most pools are in tatters at this point. Sure, they’re a three-seed, but they can grab a Final Four appearance today (their first?) if they can knock out the perennial favorite blue blooded Blue Devils from Duke.
