I didn't say that it was badly played. What I was saying was that it was an extremely physical, no-holds-barred knock-down drag out game. Extremely competitive. Every time Duke threatened to pull away, here came Butler!
I would have LOVED to have seen Hayward's final shot go in;
another 2" lower off the backboard it would have missed the front of the rim and gone down for a helluva 3 point winner.
Too bad, d#$#$@ Duke wins...
