National Championship: Duke vs. Butler

• hoops23

  

  Zoubek continues to go over the back with no call..
  
  In fact, each time he goes over the back on Howard, Howard is called for the foul.. smh.

  Howard gets some cheapies compared to the other guys banging around and going after rebounds
• centralbucksfan

  Ha ha...CC is sweating his ass off knowing that he never ever thought this game would be this close at this point in the game. Butler taking it right at Duke right now.

  Damn Butler can guard
• centralbucksfan

  40-40..who woulda thought.
• Non

  

  I didn't think that last Zoubek rebound was over the back or a push technically
  
  the ball just went over the short guy to the tall guy
  
  but there has been a lot of contact not called and Howard has been unlucky to pick up two fouls in similar situations

  I agree. But the previous 2 were definite pushes.

  Wow. Goaltend not called. It was pretty obvious too.

  Howard is a foul machine. Geez.
• Non

  

  14:40
  
  Howard going back in
  
  doubt he'll be able to avoid
  
  yep that was a stupid foul
• centralbucksfan

  Howard is just STUPID. What a dumb 4th foul.
• devil1197

  Wasn't that goal tending?
• killer_ewok

  

  I'm sorry.....but he's just not playing smart.
• wildcats20

  

  Wow, he'll be out til the last 2 min. Or at least should be.
• CinciX12

  

  I don't understand how even a Butler fan could enjoy watching Howard play. It looks like everything he does happens by accident.
• Non

  

  that was just stupid
  
  you have to realize if you're going back in, you have to be really careful with so much time left
• Cleveland Buck

  

  Howard's had some cheap calls against him, but he is not big or athletic enough for this game.
• TheMightyGators

  Someone needs to tell Howard that he is only allowed 5 fouls per game.

  JS cant jump above the rim, he cant goaltend
  
  
  That Howard kid is a hack.

  You are probably the last person who should be calling others hacks.

  That was foul, but it should have only been his 3rd.
  
  Duke will win, not because they're the better team, but because the refs will make sure of it.
  
  Jukes with 3 fouls now too.
• centralbucksfan

  Jukes can't pick up his fourth. As Kellog pointed out, they might be better with Jukes in the game then Howard.
• killer_ewok

  

  Jukes has 3 fouls now. That might be bigger than Howard's 4th.
• hoops23

  

  I think Butler has around 11 personal fouls and Duke has about 6?

  Hard to tell without seeing a replay. But in real time, it looked very close.
