The game where he took the injury was awful. Duke had the game in hand, but Butler was still playing pretty tough in a losing cause. I mean, it was the Final Four. And then he went down -- all of LucasOil Stadium went shocked quiet, Huggins went to where he was on the floor. WV had by far the least fans in the area out of all four teams, but everyone knew what a warrior the guy was and what a heart he had. And to have a possible career-ending injury like that, after leading the team to where they were?
I don't have a lot invested in Danny Green or Richards, but Butler is a guy I hope can turn it around and find his legs - so to speak - in the pros. If not for us, then somewhere. He can be a good player. I'm not sure he will be, but I'm glad we're giving him a shot.
