West Virginia...meh
Duke...meh

Butler <3

hometown team, underdog, who the <Censored> saw this coming. In a tournament that has been so random, we need a random champion.

Go Butler

 

[Mexi]

agree

 

[Gtown81]

yeah let's go Butler

 

[Mooche]

The winner of the Butler/MSU game is who I will be cheering for.

 

[Mexi]

lol this thread died

i forgot the final was today

wont watch. just hope duke loses
i dont even care about butler
just want duke to lose


btw, does Butler have any NBA players on that team?

 

[elcheato]

Gordon Hayward and maybe Shelvin Mack

 

[MapleLeaf]

If that shot went in that would have the most storybook conclusion ever in college basketball history

 

[Gtown81]

the refs were brutal

but lots of love to Matt Howard, he's my fave

 

[elcheato]

Matt Howard blows, I remember when people thought he was good.

 

[MapleLeaf]

I think towards the end it was Duke fans vs. everyone else.

Who didn't want Butler to win that game. Just think how much college basketball would have changed if that shot had went in. A mid-major would have won the tournament.

 

[Mexi]

this never happened

Kudos to Duke for the W.
As well as the NCAA for giving Duke a cakewalk to the game.

That's what I'd say. Their toughest test was a Mid-Major who found their way to the title game somehow while missing shot after shot in the Final Four. Unfortunate that it turned into this, it started as such a great tournament. As much as I wasn't particularly thrilled with Butler, I wish Hayward dropped that half court because it would've highlighted a legendary mistake by a supposed legendary coach. If they were only up one after the made FT, I'd agree because a three wins it either way, but up by two? Make the FT and at worst it goes to OT.

<Censored>ing Duke.

 

[Mooche]

Just some thoughts.

-Shelvin Mack is a monster.

-Matt Howard really needs to learn not to be a clown and take dumb ass fouls plus miss easy shots, early on.

-Kyle Singler is one ugly mother.

-<Censored> Duke.

-The call on Hayward not being intentional, MEH. To say the least.

-<Censored> Duke.

-Considering Duke was suppose to "stomp" them, I think Butler played pretty dang well.

-Why would you even play Howard over Jukes? Jukes played AMAZING.

 

[The Young One]

Howard won player of the year as a soph. He's a good player. Just out of control a lot.

BTW: I heart Gordon Heyward.

How bout them devils?

The worst thing about that should of been intentional call, was Kellogg. He was so obviously rooting for Duke, and it was so obvious during this part.

 

[Mexi]

^kinda weird too

Kellogg was a great NBA player in Indiana for a few years with the Pacers.
even calls Pacers games
has ties with Indy


I heard Dick Vitale today. i knew he'd be all over Duke of course like he always is, but geez

I have never seen someone ride a team like that before on a major network.
not even Lou Holtz is THAT bad
goodness gracious

 

[elcheato]

You're joking right? Lou Holtz is that bad.
