Butler’s Steven Bennett, BIGEAST.com’s inside man at the NCAA Tournament, is in Memphis, Tenn., with the rest of the Bulldogs as they prepare for their Sweet 16 matchup with North Carolina Friday night at the FedEx Forum.
Steven fills us in on how tough it was to concentrate in class this past week, (and just wait until you see the list of classes he’s had to take as a chemistry major), what he thinks of North Carolina as an opponent, whether there is any “awe” factor going into the game, what it was like being on the Butler bench the last time the Bulldogs beat North Carolina in 2014, the secret reason why his parents, Steve and Marsha, are thrilled that Butler was sent to Memphis, whether he and the Bulldogs have chowed down on Memphis BBQ and how much fun it is for teammate Avery Woodson to return to Memphis where he played the past two seasons.
