First off, college basketball championship:

It's a pretty even game. Duke favored by 7 points. I would definitely take Butler with that spread considering I think they have a good chance of winning.

55% people on ESPN think Duke will win / 45% think Butler will win.

i dont care

People don't realize that Butler has been in four of the last eight sweet-16s. They are a quality team. One big thing for them will be if the refs allow dukes lumbering giant to go over the back on every rebound like he did to WVU. But most important if Sheyer and Smith are shooting uncontested threes like they did on Saturday - it will be a short easy night for Duke.

There's no way Butler will allow them to shoot uncontested 3's... they have the best defense in the nation

Refs gave Duke the game. Heyward phantom charge call when it was a blocking foul on Duke changed the game. That was a 6 point swing right there, should of been a 2 and 1, instead is completely negated.

Zoubek should have fouled out in 1st half, he went over the back for half of his rebounds that were not called.

Whether or not the school had success before doesn't make this team better.

Players come and go, people talk as if each school keeps all their players every year.

Brian Zoubek nba draft pick now i mean u cant teach 7-1

The charge call on Heyward was awful should have been a 3 point play. Neither team deserved to lose though, very even game. It would have been nice to see Butler win, I know I was rooting for them.

moral of the story....
georgetown sucks the most
and vanderbilt..
and villanova..
and kentucky..

i woulda liked to see xavier make it to the championship game though..they played some exciting basketball :)

Forgotten - Whether or not the school had success before doesn't make this team better. Players come and go, people talk as if each school keeps all their players every year.

Yes, thats why Kentucky and Kansas will suck next year and Tulsa and Central Florida will be playing in the final . . . you don't actually watch much basketball do you?

I predict Duke will beat Butler by 1(saved by the refs of course,yet again)

Western conference is tough....

I don't think any team losing in 1st round would be an upset
