Butler vs. Duke

[res0nat0r]

Butlers game on Sat. was a great nailbiter. This is still neck and neck in the 2nd half sofar tonight. This is awesome stuff sofar. The city has been freaking crazy all weekend, and if Butler wins it is going to be some amazing stuff. Go Bulldogs

Just think how much better it could have been, too, if that final shot had been about an inch lower on the backboard -- we'd be talking about that shot for eons to come!

Re: Butler vs. Duke

mmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnn damnit!!! dont remind me. I can't believe how well that team did this season, it was amazing. That is all the whole town has been talking about the last few weeks. I work right downtown by Conseco Fieldhouse where the Final Four games are always played and its been nuts these last two weeks. Man I wish they could have pulled it off.

I know!
if I had launched that shot i would almost wish it would have been an air ball, being THAT close

Wish I had been able to lay some $$$ down, I heard the spread at one point was 7?!

^i think that is right.

Re: Butler vs. Duke

I wish I knew where to make bets (legally) for stuff like this, I would have easily dropped $100 and taken Butler with the points!

Wire it to my paypal acct, I'll sort something out

Re: Butler vs. Duke

If Butler wouldn't have gone for 7 and a half minutes without a field goal, that last ditch shot wouldn't have been necessary, but props to Butler, they proved that a small program can run with the big dawgs.

Re: Butler vs. Duke

^^^ yes, ridiculous drought in scoring, and they still almost won

Re: Butler vs. Duke

thats true, the ncaa tournament is the best annual sporting event!
I'm not too sure about this expansion crap though

[Garrick]

Re: Butler vs. Duke

i'm torn between whether expansion is a good idea or not... i like the idea of seeing more tournament games but think it takes a lot of prestige/oompf out of the regular season and would cause teams not to play so hard.
