MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Butler’s magical March moments this time did not occur on the basketball floor. North Carolina took care of that, winning a South Regional semifinal 92-80 on Friday night.
Butler memories were made when Chris Holtmann cleared the bench.
When one senior, a tearful Andrew Chrabascz, embraced his coach. When another, Tyler Lewis, raised his finger with the No. 1 sign — maybe meant for no one in particular, and yet for everyone in what he calls his Butler family. When a third, Avery Woodson, returning to a FedExForum where he played two college seasons, hugged one player and coach after another.
