  Not sure about that, but he does come across as that obnoxious fan who doesn't even know what the fuck is going on out there. He thought Butler got two possession arrows in a row. Pay attention....they overturned one of them and gave it to Duke due to a mistake with the possession arrow.
  
  His team is playing in the national title game and it's like he doesn't know what's going on. LOL

  K fine it was a bit of a hyperbole lol
  
  He's still absolutely clueless about basketball.

  I know. LOL. It just provided me with an opportunity to get that off my chest.

  If Duke got up 10 in this contest I would be real surprised. Gonna be nip tuck all the way to the end. Feel like I may need to cut myself just to let go of some of these nerves.
  
  Butler is playing much better defense on the ball than WVU did. Really making it difficult for Scheyer and Singler to get free. They are having to create for themselves much more than they did against WVU.
  
  I like that Duke can go inside and get buckets, figure to see more of that early in the second half.
  Butler can definitely shoot better from deep I think they will hit quite a few second half triples, especially Heyward.
  
  I hope Duke has it in them to finish this off, gonna be really tough. Butler has the crowd to give momentum much like Baylor did. Gonna have to get a few breaks.

  I absolutely hate watching Duke play basketball. They get the benefit of the calls, they flop, etc..
  
  Zoubek flops every fucking time he's playing defense.. Such a pussy.

  Whats that tell ya?

  It tells me, once again, that you should stick to that sweet sport.... cross country.
• wildcats20

  

  This is a fucking joke.
  
  I'm sorry his Dad died, I really am; but seriously??? And people think the media/nation doesn't have a bias towards Duke...what a joke.

  This has shaped up to be Cinderella's year.....Butler deserves to be there and Duke will struggle. I see Butler having someone unusual catch fire and win the game for the Bulldogs.

  Uh....so far I'm quite close.......the 2.6 player with 10 at half....DRILLED it.
  
  Year of Cinderella...Duke will go colder.

  Where's the Butler parent at?? I'm sure one of their players has gone through tragedy.
• Non

  

  that halftime was kinda lame
  
  maybe just get Shakira out there shaking it next year
• centralbucksfan

  Duke better hope the 3 starts to fall or Butler will be the one pulling away. Duke isn't getting the open looks they did vs WVU. Butler is very solid defensively. But bottom line, Duke needs the 3pt shot to win this game.
• TheMightyGators

  I'd like to see Butler get it to Howard down low early and often. He can get to the rim at will, and they will start to fall.
• wildcats20

  

  There is no one out there that can guard Hayward.
• Non

  

  Butler has some good matchups
  
  Mack is quicker than Scheyer
  
  Howard is quicker inside than the Duke big men
  
  Hayward always is a threat to drive
• Non

  

  three jump balls in a row for Butler
  
  haha
• hoops23

  

  Oh my god, I hate these camera angles CBS uses.
• wildcats20

  

  Wow Teddy Valentine again.....

  Then why are they down 1

  A better question is why are you on a message board during the entire National Championship of your supposed favorite team? You are one true fan!

  Howard's 3rd foul.
  
  Big deal. Jukes is a beast tonight. LOL
• Non

  

  Duke has scored, too
  
  which is why it's been back and forth
• se-alum

  

  Lol...how the hell is that a foul on Howard??
• hoops23

  

  lol wow.. Bad call on Howard there. Just terrible.
• Non

  

  Duke pounding the boards against the small Butler lineup
• wildcats20

  

  Probably should have been a call on that Scheyer 3 attempt.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  Butler's guards are so much quicker than Duke's. They have to get inside the lane every time down for either a score or a kick out.
