Final 4 picks.

GAME 1:

I want Butler to win, and I think they will.

GAME 2:

I want WV to win, but I think Duke will.

CHAMPIONSHIP GAME:

I want Butler to win. Or Michigan State. Or WV ... but I think Duke will.

I think you may be right.

Well, Butler did it. Really good close one all the way.

So much for the warm-up game...on to the main event of the night!

It figures that Singler and Scheyer would get hot against WVU.

Well, it was a nice run for the Eers.
Duke had better shooters, a lot more size and depth.

I'm thinking Butler shouldn't have a chance and at the same time this is like watching the 1969 Mets.

Second chance points were a killer for WVU. Don't think they had any, iirc.

Wrong time to have a bad game.
WVU has nice length but needs more height.

I am sticking with my original pick of Duke to win it all. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

Matt Howard is apparently not going to play for Butler.
Looks like a cakewalk for Duke.

[eg8r]

LOL, cakewalk for Duke no matter what. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif At least that is my story.

My heart is with the Butler Bulldogs.

You are probably in the majority, as everyone loves the underdog....but the odds are Duke will dominate.

Steve

[eg8r]

Wow, great game so far, Duke by 1.

eg8r

[pooltchr]

second half should prove very interesting.

Steve

[sack316]

I was gonna say that Duke should be a heavy favorite, but Butler is one of those scrappy teams you just can't count out. The game reminds me a lot of the good ol' G'Town/Nova matchup back in the day.

Sack

[sack316]

Great game and exciting finish. The announcer got it right when he said "Duke won this game, Butler did not lose it". Great championship game, congrats to both teams!

Well, it certainly wasn't a cakewalk.
Hayward just missed that last shot.

Actually, he missed his last two...both of them very close, but not quite there, and both of them potential game changers.

One of the best championship games I can remember.

I had Butler +6 for a Franklin from a local Dukie.

[eg8r]

Duke won and I won. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif I guess I should have put some money on Duke at the beginning. I think I was the only person from the board that picked them in the beginning. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
