bullets13

what a great game!  Butler held their own, and Duke got another one for Coach K.  man, that shot was about 2 inches too long or it would've banked in.

holy crap that shot almost went in at the buzzer!

still a chance!  that shot almost went in :)

i really hope butler pulls this one off!

60-59, 45 seconds to go!  what a game!!!

duke up 5 with two minutes to go.

bye.

looked flagrant to me... :)

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.
