I can understand the desire to see a couple heavyweights slug it out for the national championship, but I’ll tune in for the underdog angle, and the fact that Butler have a huge winning streak on the go. I’m as casual as you can get for college b-ball, as I really only watch the Tourney each year.

The example I would give would be Boise State vs Oklahoma in college football a few years ago. It didn’t even decide the title, but it was a VERY entertaining game, and partly because Boise wasn’t supposed to have a shot against a team like the Sooners.

and yes they may just have to do that while playng 8 on 5. Just look at Dook’s game against my Mountaineers last night, Da’Sean Butler tears his ACL sprains his MCL and get two bone bruises and get called for a Charge all in one play. Of course the quote of the nigh went to Huggs when he went out to console Da, he turns to the Ref and says"They don’t foul do they John, he’s an All-American player laying on the ground and they didn’t foul"

As a true casual fan, I think the underdog story with Butler has been fantastic, and I’ve been more interested in this year’s tournament than I have been in March Madness in years.

so therefore I care. Seriously, they got the easiest path to the Final 4 which was a reward for being the shittiest one seed out of them all this year. They did play incredibly well against West Virginia so you can’t take that away from them, but if there is a God Duke will not win.
