IF you read Twitter trends, Butler's America's favorite basketball team as they play U Conn for the NCAA Championship.
According to Trendistic, the platform that tracks popular twitter terms and keywords, as many as over one percent of all tweets were for Butler during the game, which is in the second half now, as this blog post is being written.
By contrast, UCONN takes up just .075 percent of all Twitter tweets.
Here are some of the Butler Tweets:

Reason No. 27 I'm pulling for #Butler: Their college newspaper is better than UCONNs. http://thebutlercollegian.com.
