Butler's Brad Stevens to Penn State?

Sadly, the subject line of this post it little more than a whistful flight of fancy for the staff at Penn State Clips...

But if Brad Stevens can take Butler to the Final Four in a state with three "power conference" teams (Indiana, Notre Dame, and Purdue), couldn't he do the same in State College?

And it's not like Stevens is a one-year wonder. Three years as a head coach, three conference championships, three NCAA appearances, an 88-14 record (.863), and 5-2 in NCAA Tournament games.

There are six teams left in the field. Here are the percentage of people who picked each of them to reach the Final Four in the ESPN brackets...

• West Virginia: 18.7%
• Duke: 16.9%
• Baylor: 2.6%
• Michigan State: 1.1%
• Tennessee: 0.5%
• Butler: 0.3%

Duke is the lone #1 seed left. There have been on two seasons in which the #1 seeds were shut out of the Final Four...

• 1980: #2 Louisville, #5 Iowa, #6 Purdue, #8 UCLA
• 2006: #2 UCLA, #3 Florida, #4 LSU, #11 George Mason

Right now we have #2 West Virginia, #5 Butler, #5 Michigan State or #6 Tennessee, and #1 Duke or #3 Baylor.
