Stuck in a Pitt

#1 seeded Pittsburgh was knocked off yesterday versus #8 seeded Butler. It was the craziest finish I have seen in my lifetime. If you have not seen the ending take a look:
Butler vs. Pittsburgh insane ending, Last second free throws, 2011 March Madness ...
As you can see, after Shelvin Mack fouled Gilbert Brown, there was a little trash talking from Mack to Brown. When Brown missed his second free throw, Nasir Robinson made a big mistake as he fouled Matt Howard. Howard has won the game for Butler twice this NCAA Tournament. Remember, he had the buzzer beater to beat Old Dominion. Butler will meet Wisconsin in the Sweet Sixteen. Do you know what this reminds me of? The Knicks/Pacers game when Reggie Miller had eight points in 26 seconds. For all of you people who watched that game, you witnessed the most insane college basketball game of the decade. You will not see a crazier ending in college basketball for a long time. My heart goes out to Nasir Robinson and his family.
