Butler came just inches away from making college basketball history.  When you take a step back and consider the absurdity of a Horizon League team navigating its way through a grind of a tournament, fighting through impossible odds to make it within one shot of winning the national championship, the missed opportunity hurts pretty badly.  But just when you think that it will be impossible for a mid-major to be in that position again, you have to remember that there is a whole new season waiting to be played out starting next November.  Even though this game finds a new way to tear your heart out of your chest every year, we will be back in the fall for more.
