About the Butler-Pittsburgh game, I just watched highlights from this game, and that was one of the craziest finishes I have ever seen except for buzzer beaters! I can’t recall ever seeing two fouls committed in the last 1.4 seconds of a game. It looks like both teams need to understand the importance of knowing the time, score, and situation in the game. I’m disappointed Pittsburgh lost because the defeat did some damage to the brackets I filled out.
