[quote name="BC4LIFE2011" post="786457" timestamp="1270523461"] unfortunately bullets we dont need your valued updates every 2 seconds on the game considering people can just turn on the tv and watch it themselves [/quote] well, go watch the game then.  why are you even in this thread if this is your only contribution?

Duke up 5, 5 and change to go.

[quote name="Wildcatter" post="786448" timestamp="1270522882"] I HATE DUKE, CAN THEY GIVE THEM ANYMORE CALLS?   [/quote] you mean besides that NBA continuation call they just gave them?  it had looked like it was balancing out, but not anymore.

If Beasley was making his shots butler would have a comfortable lead.  he's had a TON of good looks.  51-49, Duke leads.

49-47

4 fouls on Zoubek.  Butler SHOULD have two free throws to take the lead... instead 2 to cut it to 2.

that's a [b]terrible[/b] charge call.  butler should be shooting a free throw to cut it to one.  Well, i guess Duke is getting the calls again after all.

45-43, duke up, 13 left, Butler ball.

as i say that, duke gets the benefit of a missed offensive goaltending, and then howard picks up his 4th foul 12 seconds or so after coming back in the game.

tied at 40, 15 minutes left.  I won't say that Butler is getting the calls this half, but i will say that they're not getting calls against them.  they are playing some seriously physical defense, and the refs are letting them get by with it.

[quote name="AJ25" post="786422" timestamp="1270520646"] Goin' for the underdog.. Lets go BUTLER [/quote] that's why.  plus, it's fun to hate greatness.  i also hate, in no particular order: the red sox, the yankees, the celtics, the lakers, manchester united, the packers, and the steelers.

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="786415" timestamp="1270520123"] Lets go BLUE DEVILS!!!!!! [/quote] what a surprise...  we're rooting against each other again!  at least we shouldn't have any problems come next HS basketball season :)

How about Jukes coming off the bench for Butler and tying his season high for points with 10, and doing all of this in the 1st half of the national championship game!

butler only down 1 at the half!

28-27, Duke leads.  2:40 left in the half.  Heck of a ballgame so far.

[quote name="bmrm" post="786403" timestamp="1270519186"] Could the officiating favor Duke anymore?  [/quote] not really.

Duke up 16-14.

Duke up 6-4 early.

The rangers were hitless until the 7th, picked up 3 in the 7th to tie, went down 4-3, and then scored 2 in the bottom of the 9th to open the year with a win!!!

[quote name="the iceman" post="786093" timestamp="1270425983"] [quote author=bullets13000 link=topic=68136.msg786085#msg786085 date=1270421698] glad to see that they're making a better effort to recognize all of the local teams now... i never made the super gold team while i was in high school, although i had the stats to be a 1st teamer at least two years, and arguably a 2nd teamer the other two. [/quote] this is truely a touching story. [/quote] ironic that you say this, since you yourself are benefitting from just what i was talking about.  based simply on the team you play for, and your solid, but not eye catching stats, you wouldn't have made the 2nd team 7 or 8 years ago, yet here we are, and you make the team.  also, it's "truly".  good thing you play better than you spell.

glad to see that they're making a better effort to recognize all of the local teams now... i never made the super gold team while i was in high school, although i had the stats to be a 1st teamer at least two years, and arguably a 2nd teamer the other two.

I'd love for Butler to win... A) if i don't have a dog in the fight, i always pick the underdog B) i really dislike Duke.
