Who You Got? Butler Or Duke

[NT80]

Gotta go with the little guys... Butler.

[CMJ]

Butler must run the picket fence and not get caught watching the paint dry.

(I think Duke wins)

[VideoEagle]

serious uphill battle, but I still like Butler.

[TheTastyGreek]

Butler winning is worth $245 (the difference between 1st and 2nd in a bracket pool). So I'm rooting for Duke.

But I'll be happy for Butler if they win, too.

Since I had this championship game picked in my bracket before the tournament started, I see no real need to pick a winner.

But, give me Butler against the line and Duke straight up. (What is the line, anyway?)

It was 6.5 according to ESPN last night.

Capitalism at its finest!

BTW, I like Butler's chances. Going with the Butler.

My heart says Butler but my head says Duke. Go, Dogs, Go !!!

I bet that goes to at least 7 by game time.

Butler against the line. Duke straight up.

[GrandGreen]

Cinderella comes to an abrupt end. Hope for Butler win but see them blown out.

[GoMeanGreen1999]

Would love to see Butler win, but am afraid Duke will. I really don't care for Duke, so it would be a great win.

[foutsrouts]

Buter.

[letsgiveacheer]

Everyone likes to see the underdog win but since Durham is my home and given that Duke provides a very nice salary to my long-suffering wife, I'll have to go with them. But...if they were playing against anyone else except my beloved North Texas, Butler would be the choice.

I have to say that the town is in a frenzy today!

[UNT90]

This game is... Butta..

[greeninok]

BUTLER!!!

[LoveMG]

beware of bad dogs. butler

[CMJ]

That was perhaps the most exciting championship game I've ever seen. Wow

[FirefightnRick]

Wow, Butler and it's $1.7 Million budget giving Duke and it's $13 Million all they wanted.

That would have been truly something had that last shot gone in.

7 ties

15 lead changes

Neither team led by more than 6 the entire way

Amazing game

Yes, really a great game. Both teams can be proud.

Line went off at 7.5, Butler covered.

I really should be charging for this crap.

I can only wish Butler had converted free throws in the first half.

Also, Bill Walton proved yet again he is an ass-hat. Interviewed after the game he said "Duke had the better offense, the better defense and the better team. None of the Butler players could have played for Duke. I know a lot of people wanted to see Butler win but you can't survive on luck and hope forever."

Or that Howard could've put in a bunny or two in the first half, or if Veasley could've knocked down 1 of the 5 clean looks he had from 3. Butler left a lot of points out there...I think for the most part they out-played Duke.

The two best NBA prospects in last night's game were Hayward and Mack.

Amazing game! One for the ages...Walton is flat wrong, and that is not unusual for him. I don't think many people give him much credibility with comments like those about the Butler team and players. Yep, best NBA prospects were playing for Butler last night...as was said after the game, Butler didn't lose this game, Duke won it...or something like that. What a super game...you just got to love it. And, that is why the NCAA Basketball tournament is the best college sports tournament going.

WOW...glad I was able to watch this one. Butler had a tough start and some "missed opportunities" early or it may well have been a different outcome. Duke played a great game as well...you have to hand it to the Blue Devils...they made a super run through the tourney and are a worthy champion. Well done DUKE...WELL DONE BUTLER!
