I'd try and slip a screen again with Howard.

Zoubek just elbowed the crap out of Howard there. Geez

Man, t5hat was an obvious foul that almost cost Butler the rebound.... No way that was a no-call.

Here we go......

 

[r2b1]

Holy crap - it's for all the marbles now....

 

[Sam]

Wow, so close yet so far.

 

[NickZepp]

This has been an "ugly" game, but lots of grit by both teams. The game hangs in the balance.... Butler with 13 seconds to either win or lose...



TENSION!

I don't think this was a bad played game. Both teams have played well.

Heyward barely missed that shot.

 

[r2b1]

miss it!

 

[NickZepp]

Looks like Duke will win barring a miracle shot.

 

[NickZepp]

ALMOST WENT IN! Duke wins.

 

[r2b1]

D@mn!

 

[NickZepp]

If that went in that would have been the greatest NC game ever.

 

[SoopaSooner]

boo!

So close Butler.

 

[HPDrifter]

That was 2" from the being the greatest shot in college basketball history.

 

[OUhoops11]

2 points was the difference in the game. Refs cost Butler 2 points on that horrible charge call. I know there were a lot of other plays in this game, but what a difference maker that call was

Coach K with number four: just passed up his mentor...

 

[SoopaSooner]

If that went in that would have been the greatest NC game ever.

If only....

 

[hoopsaustin]

i hate dook.. i hate this sports year..

 

[paulsboutique]

How about that pick by Howard on the last shot...

 

[r2b1]

add Dook to my list of teams to hate.

I honestly didn't think he would ever win another title. His team picked a good year to not choke.
