INDIANAPOLIS – Da’Sean Butler sat in the corner of the West Virginia locker room with ice on his sprained left knee, crutches laying nearby.
Encircled by a media horde in a locker room at Lukas Oil Stadium, his face was red and puffy as he talked about how he wanted the last portion of his life back.
“I would do anything for those last 14 minutes back,” Butler said.
**Cinderella Butler advanced to its first title game with a 52-50 win over Michigan State.
**On the high school front, Findlay (Nev.) Prep won its second straight ESPN Rise NHSI title Saturday, downing Monteverde (Fla.) Academy, 59-46. Cory Joseph and Tristan Thompson combined for 32 points.

Why in the world do we have to continue to deal with Dick Vitale? You give me a stat that says he’s enjoyed. There is not a significant population that enjoys him. Why do we have to continue to listen to this guy. ESPN needs a competitor, if that was the case now he’d be gone.
He’s BOGUS!

Hey, it could be worse. You could be a Big 12 fan & have to listen to Knight and Musberger call your Big Monday games. It’s painful.

you should enjoy listening to knight he knows the game inside and out, and is possibly the greatest coach of all time.(debatable).
I agree Vitale is brutal and annoying and is a self promoter. I know old school fans such as my dad actually mute the games he does and this a no joke believe me.

too bad about Butler the kid is a class act and a big time competitor with a NBA future, now it looks like it will be an up hill battle too make it to the league, but I wish him all the best and congratulate him on that degree he is about to get.
