T-Shirts, Bus Tickets Hot Commodities At Butler

The campus of Butler University is buzzing ahead of Thursday's Sweet 16 game, with T-shirts and tickets some of the hottest commodities around.

Sweet 16 T-shirts arrived at the Butler Bookstore on Tuesday, drawing students, alumni and family members, 6News' Derrik Thomas reported.

Delores Kennedy-Williams, the grandmother of Butler guard Ronald Nored, was picking up shirts for her and her daughter to wear when they travel to New Orleans on Thursday.

She also offered her take on why Butler is on a collision course with a championship.

"They believe Brad Stevens is a genius and, by now, we believe that, too. They follow his lead, and they believe they can win," Kennedy-Williams said. "I talked to Ronny yesterday, and he said,Nike shox are a series of Nike shoes. 'We got this.' They are so confident because Brad has instilled that in them."

Besides Butler gear, some students will be heading south to cheer on the team in person.

Pharmacy student Rachael Fleury was one of 35 students selected in a random email drawing to take part in a school-sponsored bus trip.

"I wouldn't have been able to go because I couldn't afford it," she said. "I was looking at airfare, and airfare alone cost $700 to fly to New Orleans. It's a 13 1/2 hour drive, and I couldn't drive by myself.Cheap womens Nike shox nz shoes are very popular!"
