National Championship: Duke vs. Butler

• killer_ewok

  

  Butler needs to do a little acting of their own. When Zoubek backs down a much smaller player.....screw it....flop. Make it look like you got bowled over.

  lol that was such a foul on Plumlee
• karen lotz

  

  good no call there...
• wildcats20

  

  Plumlee got it clean and then hip checked the Butler player....yeah it should have been a foul
• killer_ewok

  

  Might have to come back with Howard soon. He's just going to have to play smart.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  LOL @ all ball. The deflection was all ball. The shove to the floor wasn't.
• SportsAndLady

  

  Yeah Plumlee definitely got him with the body
• bartsimpson

  wow, do you not have to dribble anymore? First the no call on the hip check, then an obvious travel. I was afraid this would happen....the "powers that be" will see to it that Duke gets the W!!!

  exactly. It's their only shot with him, plus it would hopefully give Duke a taste of their own medicine if the calls went Butler's way on the flops.

  Howard needs to smoke some good weed to settle his nerves before he comes back in. He can't panic around the rim if Butler is going to keep it close.

  five minutes left in the half
  
  Duke up 26-20 but threatening to take command

  I'm sorry, I'm not going to class on the day of the National Championship

  Great move by Heyward going coast to coast
• Non

  

  good response after the timeout
• SportsAndLady

  If I was a teacher I would kick them out.
• wildcats20

  

  Right.
  
  
  Smith looked like he tweaked an ankle right before K called the TO.
• Non

  

  that's good they didn't have to use Howard
  
  I don't think he would've been able to avoid that third foul just the way he plays
• killer_ewok

  

  Jump ball?!?!? What????
• Non

  

  Hayward strong rebound
  
  might've been a foul
  
  kind of the same as Howard's second
• Cleveland Buck

  

  Wow, a Duke flop, then they hammer Heyward, and they call a jump ball.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  You could hear the hack on that one. Should have been and-one.
• wildcats20

  

  Duke got the last jumpball....
