Eight is Enough


2 Florida vs. 8 Butler, 4:30 PM ET, CBS

Butler continues to impress after a win over Wisconsin.  They will be looking extend their hot streak with a victory over the No. 2 seeded Gators, who are coming off an overtime victory against Jimmer Fredette and the BYU Cougars.

Starting Lineups
Florida: Vernon Macklin (C), Chandler Parsons (F), Alex Tyus (F), Kenny Boynton (G), Erving Walker (G)

Butler: Andrew Smith (C), Matt Howard (F), Chase Stigall (G), Shawn Vanzant (G), Shelvin Mack (G)

Player to Watch: Matt Howard, F, Butler
Howard put on quite the show against Wisconsin, leading his team with 20 points and 12 rebounds in their Sweet 16 match-up.  The senior forward needs to put up some big numbers again if he hopes to push his team past Florida.

My Bracket: Florida
Despite Butler’s recent trend of pulling off upsets in the NCAA tournament, I fully expect the Gators to walk off the court tonight victoriously.
