Underdogs in the NCAA Tournament

The 2011 NCAA Final Four in Houston is all set after today's match-ups.  The 4 teams remaining are: 4th seeded Kentucky, 3rd seeded Connecticut, 11th seeded Virginia Commonwealth, and 8th seeded Butler.  This years Final Four is the first year in many years that there are no number 1 or 2 seeds left in the field.  Butler joins the Final Four for the second year in a row after a heartbreaking loss to Duke in the Championship game last year.  Many people are pulling for Butler to reach the title game again and to win this time around.  Standing in their way is Virginia Commonwealth (VCU) who pulled off one of the biggest upsets with their win against the number 1 seeded Jayhawks earlier today.  VCU has won 5 games thus far in the tournament, which is one more than the other 3 teams because their road to the Final Four started with a play-in game against Southern California.  The recent winning streak of VCU especially with just beating Kansas may give them an edge against Butler coming Saturday.  Butler enters Saturdays game with experience coming from lasts years tourney run, so no one seems to no what will happen come game time.  On the other side of the bracket, comes tradition as well as powerhouse teams.  Both Connecticut and Kentucky are big name schools with hall of famer coaches in Jim Calhoun and John Calipari.  Most people have already said that the winner of the Kentucky-UConn matchup will end up winning the whole thing with the Championship being a blowout game.  Unless you are a die-hard Kentucky or UConn fan, you will want to root for the underdog in the title game whether it be Butler of VCU.  The Championship game has never had a seed as low as VCU (11) in it, so history could be made with their win over Butler.  No matter what happens in the Final Four, we will have a major underdog against an extreme powerhouse, which will draw many people attention to the game coming next Monday.
