Butler's guards are doing an amazing job defensively on Scheyer and Smith. I knew Nored would bring it but those two are doing an amazing job defending the perimeter against Duke.

Pretty amazing to have a one point game when Howard (does he ever make a shot? I think I've only seen him make one and I've watched every Butler game this tournament) and Hayward have barely done anything.

Coming into this game I thought Butler was the most overrated team in the country but being down by 1 to a great Duke team that has played up to their full potential im impressed

How do you beat Syracuse and K-State, get to the National Championship, and still manage to be the most overrated team in the country?

This isn't the BCS. They won games, they deserve all the praise they get.

Yeah, you can definitely be overrated when you're playing for the national championship.

Also Butler needs to leave Jukes in for the second half. His range is drawing Zoubek out on the perimeter and keeping him from grabbing rebounds.

not saying Butler isn't legit, just that I don't think they are as good as Duke.

The second half will be very interesting to see what adjustments K made at the break. But so far, Duke is having to work for everything they get on offense.

Why doesn't K just spread the court and feed the bigs every possession. Butler has no answer for Zoubek and Plumlees down low. I don't get it.

All of my friends who are Duke fans are complaining about the refs.

People still think Butler is a Cinderella?

Butler was ranked #8 heading into the tourney with a 23 game win streak. This isn't a fluke.

I don't want to sound sexist, but the Men's Championship should end the CBB season.

The only legit win out of those two was the K-state win even then they were lucky about that because Syracuse didnt have Onuko, MSU didnt have Lucas and Kstate was just horrible that day

That's what I was saying. I didn't understand it. This isn't a "cinderella" or what have you. Butler is a legit team.

If they beat Duke today, they'd have wins over #3, #4, and #7 in the tournament alone.

Throw in wins over #5 Ohio State and #25 Xaiver in the regular season and it shouldn't really be all that surprising they're hanging with Duke.

People just see the name Butler and assume they suck. Some of my friends who bet with others kept saying it was easy money. I don't think they've been watching the same team we have.
