68 Reasons To Be Excited For The 2012 College Basketball Season--YardBarker

20. The End Of The Run For The Butler Bulldogs?: Ok, so it probably isn’t, and for all we know I fully expect to look up in March and see the Bulldogs in another Final Four. Brad Stevens is just that good.

But at the very least, hey, at least we don’t have to deal with Matt Howard anymore!

9. Butler going for a third straight title game: Brad Stevens lost a lottery pick and still returned to the national title game. This time he lost a second-rounder and an overseas guy, so why can't he shock the world again? That's an unfair expectation since he'll now deal with life without Gordon Hayward, Matt Howard and Shelvin Mack. But the Bulldogs won't drop off the map, either, despite what a preseason loss to a Division II school might suggest. -- J.G.
