NCAA Championship selection w/brief analysis #601 Butler +3.5 _ Really looked for this to open in the neighborhood of 2 or 2.5 points. UConn has offensively-charged Kemba Walker and is on an impressive 10-game run starting with its first game in the Big East Tournament. Butler is the more veteran club and has the advantage of having been in this same position on the first Monday last April. In this battle of nine-loss clubs, I'll take the points in what appears to be a relatively evenly-matched contest.
