I don't think Butler will be in there. They got ranked because of a nine-game winning streak, which was broken by Wright State. Their shooting is hot right now, and their players are experienced enough, but they have some big games coming up, and that loss to WS might suck some life out of them.
Also, if Butler was to make it in the tourney, soon as they went up against a Marquette or a Kansas, they'd get shut down.
Southern Illinois looks a bit better. They've had some quality wins, and their team is pretty well rounded. And Falker is good at the post -- most important thing for a team to have, IMO.
I look for Arizona or Indiana to be a Cinderella this year.

I don't think there will be a George Mason this year. And Butler wouldn't be a George Mason, because everyone already knows they're a good team. S. Illinois could be one though.
