Maybe they bet on the Bulldogs, plus the point spread?

The Butler Bulldogs, a No. 5 seed in the 2010 NCAA Tournament and winners of 25-straight games entering the national championship game, were anything but a “Cinderella” in this year’s March Madness. However, as a mid-major school from the Horizon League, the Bulldogs captured the hearts of Americans with their spirited effort despite losing to the Duke Blue Devils in the finals, 61-59.

It was easy for anyone to get caught up in the hype of Bulldogs-fever in Monday’s championship game from Lucas Oil Stadium, located just a few miles from the Butler University campus, especially for those in Indianapolis.

And that includes the hometown newspaper and this cute, lovable but confused Bulldogs cheerleader just seconds after Gordon Hayward’s half-court heave barely missed becoming the greatest shot in the NCAA Finals history.



And to add to the confusion there will be a celebration rally today starting at 3 p.m. at Hinkle Fieldhouse to honor the Butler Bulldogs, winners, err, runners-up in the 2010 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
