Tip-off’s at 9:20 ET on CBS; celebrate or agonize below as you see fit.

The moon landing, the rescue of the Chilean miners, and now the unlikely second shot at a championship for a mid-major that wasn’t supposed to be there last year either and somehow ended up an inch short (or, rather, long) against the Blue Devils. The odds of consecutive title game appearances for Butler were, according to Nate Silver, 7,406 to one — and yet here we are. It’s really quite simple: If you’re rooting for UConn, you’re a communist.
