  nobody really knew what they wanted to do
  
  but Hayward bailed em out
• Non

  

  Hahn finally
  
  12-11 Butler
• wildcats20

  

  Ted Valentine is bordering on Eddie Hightower and Karl Kess status right now. Man is he bad
• Non

  

  good stretch of basketball
  
  Duke up 16-14
• Cleveland Buck

  

  Can't get lazy. They have to get up on the shooters.
• killer_ewok

  

  I may be way off and I'll call myself out if I am.....but I think we're in store for an instant classic. I think Butler pulls off a mild shocker in a whale of a game.

  THis

  Pisses me off too, I used to like Teddy V.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  Zoubek is helping his NBA stock though in this tournament. He'll never average more than 2 points per game in the league, but he is a very good rebounder.
• Non

  

  Butler has gotten open shots through the first 11 minutes
  
  some haven't fallen but they've run their offense well, other than the possession when Hayward had to get the rebound
• wildcats20

  

  Howard misses another bunny and then commits his 2nd.
• killer_ewok

  

  Howard in some foul trouble. Damn.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  Howard is rushing his shots inside. He's panicking under the pressure.
• Non

  

  Howard 2 fouls
  
  that was a little weak going for the rebound
• Terry_Tate

  

  My buddy is there, and he said it's LOUD. Looks like a fantastic atmosphere. I've really enjoyed it so far, hopefully it keeps up.

  Those shots aren't falling for Duke like they were against WVU. Butler's D is harassing them and Duke is just missing some.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  Tough no call on Heyward's last drive. It was close, but you know that whistle blows it that was Singler instead of Heyward.
• Non

  

  Duke is getting some decent looks from outside, though. Butler is a little fortunate that they haven't hit a couple more 3s.
  
  But I think Butler has to be pleased with the offense. They've gotten open shots for a variety of guys.

  Shouldn't have even come to that...Scheyer had Howard's arm on the follow up.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  I could be wrong, but in this tournament I don't recall as much Duke flopping as in the past. It seems they are going back to their bread and butter tonight.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  Scheyer can't keep up with Mack. He needs to attack him all night.
