VIDEO: Controversial closing seconds of Butler’s 71-70 win over Pittsburgh and Coach Stevens celebration

Written on March 19, 2011 by Scott Agness

What a finish in our nation’s capital. Two consecutive fouls, one for either team and 8th seeded Butler is victorious over No. 1 Pittsburgh 71-70 thanks to a Matt Howard free throw.

Butler vs. Wisconsin, next Thursday in New Orleans.

Highlights of the final 7.1 seconds and a MUST-SEE, Coach Brad Stevens chest bump and locker room celebration. Apparently the slipper still fits. On to the sweet sixteen.

And here is Butler’s Shelvin Mack on what he said to Gilbert Brown of Pittsburgh prior to his free throws.

    Coach Stevens is one helluva a coach. Back-to-back sweet 16’s, I’ll take it.

    thanks for posting the videos. Coach Stevens is truly a class act and his team reflects that. He has the best demeanor in college basketball. At just 34.
