And to the team and student body of Butler University: Congratulations to you for being one of the classiest and best-playing teams that I've ever seen in the history of this tournament! Y'all made a new fan in me... and quite a lot of other people too.

NCAA Basketball Championship tonight: Butler vs. Duke
As much as I have to be cheering for Duke, I would not mind it at all to see Butler win the whole thing.
Maybe that has a bit to do with the fact that I'm feeling tonight's game is going to be eerily reminiscent of the 1983 NCAA Championship between "invincible" slam-dunk powerhouse Houston and a scrappy little team from North Carolina State coached by an Italian kid from Queens named Jim Valvano.
