Butler vs. Pittsburgh Ends the Weirdest Way Possible



Butler just took down the first 1 seed of this tournament, Pittsburgh, by the score of 71-70.  It could be the most interesting last 2.2 seconds you'll ever see in a game.  Butler got a lay up with 2.2 seconds left to take a 1 point lead, Pittsburgh inbounded and Lexington native Shelvin Mack fouled a Pittsburgh player with 1.4 seconds left.  Pittsburgh hits the first free throw to tie and then misses the second.  Butler's Matt Howard rebounds and gets fouled by a Pittsburgh player with 0.8 seconds left.  He makes the first to put Butler up one and then purposely misses the second to ice the game.  The crazy thing is Pittsburgh heaved a long shot that almost went but I don't think he got it off in time either.
