Bullz-Eye was on hand in Houston this weekend for the Final Four – easily one of the greatest sporting events of the year. Just getting to the event got our guys in the mood for some March Madness. Fans were throwing foam basketballs and sporting their team’s colors everywhere – luggage, clothing, even body paint in some cases.

Here’s a quick peek at what the Bullz-Eye staff saw at the games:

Shortly thereafter, we had settled into our club seats, center court, ready to take in the action. The stadium, like the city, was electric, with fans from all four teams — Butler, VCU, Kentucky and UConn — ready to cheer their boys on to Monday’s title game. Up first was 8-seeded Butler vs. 11-seeded VCU, a meeting of Cinderellas that got the evening off to a great start. In fact, while Kentucky vs. UConn represented what many fans considered the primetime highlight of the evening, the Butler/VCU game was the more enjoyable matchup. Butler G Shelvin Mack and VCU F Jamie Skeen exchanged baskets for much of the evening, with Skeen topping Mack in points, 27-24, but VCU stumbled late and Mack’s Bulldogs ultimately wound up with the advantage on the scoreboard. And that, as we all know, is the only thing that matters.
