So is Duke still not legit, and just coasting off bad officiating?

No they don't. Duke's probably going to win by 30

I wouldn't count this Butler team out.

Congrats to Duke.

Would have loved to win it all. But I'm over it already. It's all about Da'sean right now.

I will seriously bawl for days if its found out that Da has a torn ACL after his amazing career right before the NBA draft. I swear, life just isn't ****ing fair.

I didn't watch the second half, but that's how it felt it was going. Congrats to Duke, they're better than I thought they were. I knew they were good, but not quite at this level.

They won't have any issues with Butler. Butler is a nice story, but they don't pose any matchup problems for this Duke team. I'm not sure they have a chance on the boards and that's going to kill them.

Not having a chance in hell is a bit of stretch. But I see where you're coming from and I do not expect Butler to win it all on Monday. However, I also didn't expect them to beat UTEP, or Syracuse, or K-State, and was skeptical about their chances against an Izzo coached MSU team. And they ended up winning them all. So what the hell do I know. lol.

I hope Butler is okay. I'd love to have that dude on the Knicks next year.

Btw, I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but I freekin love Bob Huggins. It was great to watch a coach act that way with his players. Got even more respect for him after this game.

Agreed. Huggins has been one of my favourite coaches for a while and what he did with Butler made my respect go up ten fold.

Was reading on twitter that it looks like just a strained knee right now. Let's hope so.

What?! Huggs is a homosexual. He almost kissed his player!!!!

Huggs is the man. All you need to know is that this same exact thing happened to Kenyon Martin when he was in college. Broke his leg in the CUSA tournament, was bawling and crying on the floor, Huggs did the same exact thing. And you know KMart, he is one of the biggest tough guys in the NBA.

Words can not describe how lucky we are to have Huggs as our coach.

Gotta agree with you there. As a Duke fan I was gonna root for you guys Monday because of him and Butler being a stand up kid. I can't stand when I bring up how great Huggins is around here and people bring up the drunk driving ****.

Congrats to WVU on a great season. You earned the trip to the FF and you deserve to hold your heads high. Butler I hope he's not seriously hurt, because I never want to see anybody get hurt.

With that out of the way I tried telling you that we would beat you up on the boards. I think we have just peaked and finally we did it at the right time and not in Feb. I give Butler a puncher's chance, but we are at another level right now.

Duke has always been good since their run started. I don't think anyone could say they aren't. They are not great though. For a team that doesn't attack the hoop much, they shouldn't be shooting ~25FT per game. They get away with a lot of fouls and get a lot of fouls called because they are Duke.

Tonight, they got away with a ton of over the back calls that weren't made on rebounds. Just because you are taller than the other player, doesn't mean you can reach over them for the rebound. If they have position, you have to got up straight and that wasn't happening.

Seeing it game after game in the ACC, you know when it is coming. You also recognize when the officials try to catch the other team up and make the box score look even. The problem is, the type of fouls are never the same.

Duke got away with a ton of over the backs and moving screens. It was really a joke. Zoubek had 5 or 6 of them himself.
