The team that beat VCU in the 2011 Final Four, the Butler Bulldogs, were also somewhat of an underdog. Under coach Brad Stevens, the Bulldogs beat Old Dominion, Pitt, Wisconsin, Florida, and VCU.
Butler’s improbable run brought them close to a national championship, but they weren’t able to beat a strong UConn squad.
