I guess we are watching a different game 

[bullets13]

butler only down 1 at the half!

[bullets13]

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!

Lets go BLUE DEVILS!!!!!!

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.

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.

[bullets13]

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.

[bullets13]

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

[adminbaberuth]

i keep waiting for butler to fold, not yet.

[bullets13]

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.

[Lazeek]

It is obvious who Clark Kellogg wants to win!!!!

[bullets13]

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

[bullets13]

49-47

[bullets13]

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