2016 NCAA Tournament Previews: Butler

The Hoos moved on to the round of 32, where they face the Butler Bulldogs. Butler is a much better team than Hampton, so Wahoo fans should not expect another 30 point blowout. Butler is one of the top 3 point shooting teams in the nation, and that's a tough matchup for the Pack-Line Defense.

With a few minutes remaining in the 8/9 matchup between Butler and Texas Tech, my phone buzzed with an "upset alert" because 9th seeded Butler was leading the game. Perhaps by seed the game was technically an upset, but we know that 8/9 games are essentially a coin flip.
