Butler went 28-4 during the regular season, ending on a 20-game winning streak. They finished 8th in the coach's poll and 11th in the AP. Despite their conference, they are a very good team that should have been at least a 3 seed. Yes, Duke outclasses them athletically, but so did Syracuse, Kansas State and Michigan State.

If Butler ends up beating Duke, it will be a moderate upset, but nothing on par with The Miracle on Ice, Jets over Colts, or Giants over Patriots.
