Big win for the little guys. Small Horizon League Butler beats Big Bad Big Ten Stalwart Michigan State in the first game of the Final Four.
Congrats to all the Butler fans out there. And congrats to Michigan State on a great season. My great friend and AL-07 Congressional Candidate Shelia Smoot is a Michigan State alumni so it was tough to root against them tonight.
So who is everyone rooting for in WVU - Duke?
I'm pulling for the West Virginia Mountaneers
We all sing Country Roads tonight - the unofficial song of WVU - when the Mountaineers beat the Duke Blue Devils tonight.
DaSean Butler on West Virginia. I know it's kind of confusing now that Butler won seems like a great kid. He just won the Lowe's Senior of the Year Award and the video footage showed him visiting a 74 year old fan that was admitted to the hospital after a big game against Villanova.
On Monday, the Mountaineer fan received a visitor she wasn't expecting, according to The (Charleston, W.Va.) Daily Mail.
It was Da'Sean Butler, the star of the West Virginia basketball team that has led his team into this weekend's Final Four.
"Of course he's so tall (6-foot-7), he comes walking in and you can see her eyes keep getting bigger and her mouth came open," Pam Channel told the newspaper. "We asked her if she knew who he was and she mouthed 'Butler'."
"He was just awesome. You could not have asked for a nicer person. He said to her, 'I didn't have anything else to do. It's spring break.' "
Go Mountaineers!! Butler will have homecourt advantage in Monday nights game, but I hope to see them face off against WVU. Will be a hard in that would hate to see either team lose.
