NCAA Championship 2010: #1 Duke vs #5 Butler

Monday, April 5, 2010 at 9:21 p.m. ET

The AP reports: In a sign of how far Butler has come, the Bulldogs (33-4) might have the best NBA prospect on the floor Monday night in Gordon Hayward, a 6-foot-9 forward, who can shoot the 3, guard on the perimeter and play in the middle if he has to. Giving him a run for his money is Duke’s Kyle Singler, who along with Jon Scheyer and Nolan Smith, make up the “Big Three” for the Blue Devils (34-5)— three players who will play at the next level, but not before sticking around college for a while. There are no lottery picks, no “one-and-dones,” on either of these squads, both of whom emphasize “team” over the individual.

Team Stat Leaders:

Points: Gordon Hayward (Butler) 15.6, Jon Scheyer (Duke) 18.3
Rebounds: Gordon Hayward (Butler) 8.2, Brian Zoubek (Duke) 7.7
Assists: Ronald Nored (Butler) 3.6, Jon Scheyer (Duke) 4.8

Discuss the game!

UPDATE: ROUNDUP OF GAME RESULT HERE (http://www.insidehoops.com/blog/?p=5684).

[Jailblazers7]

Please for the love of God let Butler win. It would be a great story and I can't stand to see Duke win another championship.

[MK2V1GP]

This is very rare: Two teams I like are playing for a championship. Normally its two teams I hate!!! Whether its the NBA, NFL, MLB, etc, its normally always two teams I hate in the championship.

I'm a Duke fan, but if Duke was going to lose in the Title game, I'd want it to be to a team like Butler. I love their coach, style of play, and I'm developing a bigger man-crush on Hayward with each game (no homo). I loved the kid when I first saw him play earlier this season, but now seeing him every game, the kid is really something special.

With that said, GO DUKE!

[gotbacon23]

as surprising as it may seem, but brian zoubek is going to be the best pro out of anybody on duke. dude is a rebounding machine.

[Jailblazers7]

Mack is a baller.

And how many easy looks can Howard miss what a punk.

I would prob quit the game of basketball if I let Jon Scheyer chase me down and block my layup.

[MK2V1GP]

Lol. No way will Zoubek be a good NBA player. He's too weak. He reminds me a bit of Shawn Bradley. Sure, he gets a few tough rebounds now, but he's 4-6 inches taller than everyone else and a few pounds heavier too. I just can't see Zoubek being a solid NBA player.

[MK2V1GP]

Why doesn't Hayward just attack? I understand playing within the system and everything. But he needs to be more aggressive sometimes.

[TennesseeFan]

The National Championship Game! Go Bulldogs!

[gotbacon23]

Lol. No way will Zoubek be a good NBA player. He's too weak. He reminds me a bit of Shawn Bradley. Sure, he gets a few tough rebounds now, but he's 4-6 inches taller than everyone else and a few pounds heavier too. I just can't see Zoubek being a solid NBA player.

i think he can be a role playing rebounder. not an all-star or anything. but i think he has a niche that fits more in the nba that schyer, smith, or singler. i dont think those guys will do anything. zoubek could be a poor man's pryzbilla at least, which would be a decent big off the bench.

[Jailblazers7]

I don't remember zoubek being a beast when dejaun Blair took dukes collective manhood last year.

[UK-NJ]

Howard has been awful offensively so far.

[brooks_thompson]

these camera angles are killing me

[gotbacon23]

I don't remember zoubek being a beast when dejaun Blair took dukes collective manhood last year.

zoubek has improved tremendously. if you asked me a year ago, i would have said he wouldn't even make the nba. hell, last year he barely played over 10 minutes per game.

my point being that the dude can rebound and is big. that is worth something in the nba. i would take him with a 2nd round pick easy.

[Undisputed]

Howard is having a horrible start. He can't find the basket.

[insidehoops]

At 13:41 in the first half, Duke leads 8-7. Shelvin Mack has 6 points for Butler, who are shooting just 2-of-10 with 0 assists but two threes to start.

[Apples]

Hayward always on the hustle, love watching him.

[Jailblazers7]

You can get better talent than him in the second round. I'd sign him as a free agent. Maybe.

[gotbacon23]

You can get better talent than him in the second round. I'd sign him as a free agent. Maybe.

o i'd agree that you'd get a better talent them him in terms of overall skill. dude onlly has one skill lol. but i think he is good enough at rebounding that he'll find a niche.

[GP_20]

5-0 in predicting all the Butler games played
5-0 in predicting all the Duke games played

Only one on ISH who can make that claim (w/ proof)



I've said Duke will win. Thus, Duke will win. I'm 10-0 in Duke/Butler games. So I know exactly how good each team is. And I'll say it, Duke is better. Though Butler is very good.

[ortonsaw]

is any of these players entering the draft this year?

[insidehoops]

At 11:05, first half, Duke leads 16-14.

For Duke, Kyle Singler has 5 points and 4 rebounds. Nolan Smith has 4.

For Butler, S.Mack has 6.

Duke is shooting 50%, Butler 33%, but it's early so those percentages will probably change in a hurry.

[TennesseeFan]

Good game so far...

good story, please tell it again.

[brooks_thompson]

dont like that foul call on howard. theyve been letting them play under the basket

[ortonsaw]

anyone?

[Gundress]

At 13:41 in the first half, Duke leads 8-7. Shelvin Mack has 6 points for Butler, who are shooting just 2-of-10 with 0 assists but two threes to start.


Check your PM.

[wang4three]

anyone?
Scheyer for sure. Maybe Hayward and Singler.

[GP_20]

good story, please tell it again.
Another aspect. I win no matter who wins.


If Duke wins, my bracket finishes 99th %, and I correctly picked the champion again (So no one has bragging rights over me). I also finish #1 on ISH.

If Butler wins, my bracket finishes 99th %, and I picked Butler to go farther than anyone on ISH (So no one has bragging rights over me). I also finish #1 on ISH.


:cheers:

[Jailblazers7]

I live Macks game he is so smooth offensively.

Singler is looking good too his to makes were perfect I don't think he's hit the rim yet.

[Apples]

anyone?

I'm sure Kyle Singler is since he's in his senior year.

[wang4three]

I'm sure Kyle Singler is since he's in his senior year.
He's a junior.

[HylianNightmare]

That shouldve counted

[wang4three]

College Basketball is a joke.
Why the F*ck is the court the size of a elementary gym?
No wonder no one ever dunks. Everybody is right next to each other

Yup cause that's all that matters in basketball. Dunking.

[insidehoops]

At 6:22 in the first half, Duke leads 21-20.

For Butler, Mack has 8 points, but on 8 shots. Everyone else has 3 points or less.

For Duke, Kyle Singler has 7 with 5 rebounds. Big Brian Zoubek has 5 points, 4 rebounds

[brooks_thompson]

oh thats gotta be continuation

[dak121]

Veasley is a brickmason.

[veilside23]

like what ive posted earlier in the other thread. it all boils down to how butler guards schayer and nolan smith.
its also gonna be pretty intense with howard and singler. they kinda play alike.

butler needs to control the offensive rebounding of zoubek. they have howard to do that :D

i also think that butler is has a deeper bench since they only have 1 freshmen on the roster. damn am still in the office please do update the score from time to time. i cant watch anything online thanks

[insidehoops]

At 5:08 in first half, Duke is on an 8-0 run and takes a 26-20 lead

Duke shooting 10-of-19, Butler shooting 8-of-26

The entire Butler team has one assist, no blocks

[brooks_thompson]

these last 5 mins could very well be the most important stretch. time for hayward to get more involved

[Jailblazers7]

Veasley is a brickmason.

:oldlol:

[veilside23]

dont let duke lead more than 10 before half ends.. its gonna be hard :d unless someone errupts... defense butler defense

[Jailblazers7]

Nolan smith pisses me off more than anyone in the country. I just want to punch him in his giant ass nose.

[insidehoops]

Butler just went on a nice run, cutting the Duke lead to one with 2:40 left in first half.

No player in the game has more than 9 points or five rebounds yet

[ortonsaw]

butler better win
i put 50 bucks on them

[Jailblazers7]

Thatt bank by Scheyer was beyond lucky.

[UK-NJ]

butler better win
i put 50 bucks on them
:lol Risky stuff.

[insidehoops]

With 1:56 left in the first half, Duke leads by three.

Butler's 9 offensive rebounds are what have kept them in this.

[Andrei89]

Any link for this?

[GP_20]

butler better win
i put 50 bucks on them
Despite knowing that I'm the only one on ISH that is 5-0 on Butler games and 5-0 on Duke games, and I picked Duke?



Fail

[Gundress]

With 1:56 left in the first half, Duke leads by three.

Butler's 9 offensive rebounds are what have kept them in this.


I want to Duke to lose.....f*ck...still pissed off that MSU lost...


Why didn't you response to PM that I sent you?

[brooks_thompson]

Despite knowing that I'm the only one on ISH that is 5-0 on Butler games and 5-0 on Duke games, and I picked Duke?



Fail

past peformance is not an indicator of future results

[insidehoops]

HALFTIME: Duke 33, Butler 32

Duke is shooting 50%, Butler 34%. But Butler has hit the offensive boards very hard (10 in first half) and taken 12 more shots than Duke.

For Duke, Kyle Singler has 9 points, 5 rebounds. Nolan Smith has 9 points (but on 9 shots). Jon Scheyer has 8 points, 3 assists and 2 blocks.

For Butler, forward Avery Jukes has come off the bench to hit 4-of-6 with two threes for 10 points. Shelvin Mack has 8 points (but on 9 shots). Gordon Hayward has 4 points (on 7 shots) and 7 rebounds.

The entire Butler team has just 3 assists, 1 steal and no blocks.

[jrong]

Butler got hooked on about four or five calls in a row, and they're still only down one. Every single one in that series of calls was a bad call, and every single one went against Butler. If those calls had been made correctly, Butler would have a 5 - 7 pt. lead.

[GP_20]

past peformance is not an indicator of future results
So if a 72-10 team is facing a 20-60 team, you don't know who will most likely win? Okay.

[brooks_thompson]

the raptors beat the bulls

[brwnman]

the raptors beat the bulls

yessir they did. on that 72-10 season...

[GP_20]

the raptors beat the bulls
And would you lay $50 on the Raptors or the Bulls? Now do you get the point. :oldlol:

It's not about who wins. It's about who would you put money on. That's what I was arguing.

[Derka]

Any link for this?

Got a nice quality Veetle link here.

http://www.atdhe.net/10445/watch-butler-vs-duke

[brooks_thompson]

haha greg gumbel is so smug

[brooks_thompson]

And would you lay $50 on the Raptors or the Bulls? Now do you get the point. :oldlol:

It's not about who wins. It's about who would you put money on. That's what I was arguing.

if i had fair odds and knew all the game circumstances, possibly.

hopefully this guy gets a greater return than $50 if butler wins

[brooks_thompson]

zoubek is getting away with too much on the boards

[pete's montreux]

returrrrrrrrrrrn of the mack
returrrrrrrrrrrn of the mack

[insidehoops]

At 16:00 in the second half, Butler leads Duke 40-38. S.Mack and A.Jukes each have 10.

[GP_20]

if i had fair odds and knew all the game circumstances, possibly.

hopefully this guy gets a greater return than $50 if butler wins
Yes exactly. If he gets more than $50 for the win, than it's a perfectly logical bet. Just like you'd want a lot more back if you bet for Toronto over Chicago. Otherwise...no.

[RealKnowledge]

Wow is it me or was that at&t commercial racist as hell. Black people going crazy over a dunk talking all stereotypical
"Damn he just dunked on yal whole team"
"Oh no he didnt"
"Oh yes he did"
Do they really think this is going to make black people go get at&t service?

[TennesseeFan]

....look....
...at...
..all..
...the white players....

[RealKnowledge]

Theres no offensive goaltending in college basketball? :confusedshrug:

[TennesseeFan]

Butler is ****ed, Howard is totally choking out there.

[Jailblazers7]

Matt Howard blows.

[brooks_thompson]

if howard is fouling so is duke

[TennesseeFan]

awesome game still.

[Jackass18]

Howard gets clobbered by a Duke player, but picks up his 4th foul? Zoubek pushes before he goes for rebounds and yet he constantly gets away with it.

[GP_20]

What a great game
:applause:


Both the teams I kept on picking to win game-by-game are showing how great they both are. I knew both teams were seriously good. I'm happy either wins. They both deserve it. But 1 has to take it.

[brooks_thompson]

Howard gets clobbered by a Duke player, but picks up his 4th foul? Zoubek pushes before he goes for rebounds and yet he constantly gets away with it.

yeah the game has been fairly and loosely officiated except for howard vs zoubek. howard looks like he is fouling more because hes up against a bigger guy, but Zoubek is getting away with a lot of holds, especially when hes already been boxed out

[wang4three]

I can't stand Zoubek. He does everything I hate, #1 is sliding under players while they're in air. **** that.

[insidehoops]

The entire second half so far has been close, within four points.

At 12:00 Duke leads 47-43. Singler has 15 points and 6 rebounds.

[brooks_thompson]

oh my god...thats probably the game

[Derka]

Terrible charging call there.

[Jackass18]

Jesus, Duke gets away with a clear foul and Butler gets called for a terrible charge call. 2 clear fouls on 1 play, but Butler gets called for a foul instead...

Well, at least Zoubek picked up his fourth.

[brandonislegend]

Duke gets so many calls -.-

[OneMoreSucka]

Looked like a charge to me.

[Qwyjibo]

The Scheyer charge call was a bit weak but Butler got lucky here having that foul charged to Zoubek. It looked like it should've been on Singler.

[insidehoops]

At 11:21, Gordon Hayward drove hard into traffic in the paint and drew the 4th foul on Duke big-man Brian Zoubek. That's key. Zoubek has a game-high 8 rebounds right now.

Duke leads by four.

[Jailblazers7]

Zoubek clearly hits his arm on a layup and tries to act like he didn't touch him lol

[RandomBalla55]

I can't stand Zoubek. He does everything I hate, #1 is sliding under players while they're in air. **** that.

I agree.

Zoubek has no offensive moves, he pushes everyone in the back, and only gets rebounds because he's 7'1. The only time this guy will ever score is off of an inbound gimmie. Even on his offensive rebounds all he does is look to kick it out.

The fact that he had a look of astonishment when he got called for a foul after clearly raking Hayward was ridiculous..

[brooks_thompson]

haha female gordon hayward

[Luigi]

I'm loving how close and competetive this game is.
I hope it stays this close to the last shot.

[niko]

Butler needs to pull ahead. Duke will hit a three or something and they won't catch up. If Butler pulls ahead, even by 1 Duke is going to start looking at each other and wondering what they need to do.

[brandonislegend]

So duke gets a continuation and1 but mack doesn't get the same exact call in the beginning of the game?

weird.

[Qwyjibo]

Chippy game. Refs have swallowed their whistles completely on loose-ball fouls both ways. Pretty much only on the ball stuff is being called now.

[DouXer4ouR]

Butler needs to hit a big shot next possession.

[TennesseeFan]

hahaha @ Scheyer. cmon Butler!

[Luigi]

The camera framing is way to tight. Hard to see the entire play.

[insidehoops]

With 5:42 left in the game, Duke leads 56-51. Butler has gone cold.

Singler has 17 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks.

J.Scheyer has 15 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks

[Luigi]

Wow. That was dirty.

Edit: replay shows he just got tangled up going for the poke.

[TennesseeFan]

Thats a flagrant foul.

[Derka]

Meh, not as dirty as the fall made it seem.

[DuMa]

not a flagrant. this is racism!

[brandonislegend]

Haywood looks exactly like his mom ahahaha

[TennesseeFan]

Butler is back in business, 56-55 Duke

[Luigi]

Butler is taking care of the line. I respect that.

[DouXer4ouR]

Wow Hayward is a player. I like his game. What a game, it has exceeded my expectations. Let's make it a great finish.

[Jackass18]

We all know Duke will win, but at least it's a close game.

[RoseCity07]

I don't like Clark Kellogg at all. Dude is annoying as hell.STFU, you like hearing the sound of your own voice.

Come on Butler.

[Luigi]

Singler is rising to the big game very well.

[TennesseeFan]

Big bucket by Duke.

[Jackass18]

Kellogg sounds like a Duke cheerleader.

[chazzy]

Hayward 2/9..

[Luigi]

I think Butler got away with a backcourt violation there.

[BULLZ]

Whose playing?

[vert48]

Scheyer is the smartest player on the court. Constantly in the right place at the right time.

[insidehoops]

With 3:16 left in the game, Duke leads 60-55.

Duke's Brian Zoubek, playing with foul trouble, is really hurting Butler with his size and rebounding

[wang4three]

Kellogg sounds like a Duke cheerleader.

I love Clark, but then again it could be the Big 10 fan in me.

[TennesseeFan]

eh, this game is not ending too well for Butler. They need a big play.

[Luigi]

Must stop for Butler!

[UK-NJ]

I think Duke have got this one.

[BULLZ]

I think Duke have got this one.

Them, or Butler.

[Derka]

Wow, great game!

[UK-NJ]

Them, or Butler.
Good call. :applause:

[Luigi]

Butler's back in it!

[Qwyjibo]

Butler gets a big call back. Very weak travelling call on Singler.

[Jackass18]

Wow, Smith misses a lay up which opens the door...

[DouXer4ouR]

OOHH WOW. Smith has a chance to be a hero and misses, Butler comes back and makes it a 1 point game. This is great! Cmon Butler, pull it out! Make a Stop.

[RealKnowledge]

I hope Butler wins Duke was intentionality given a easy route here they don't deserve anything.

[Jackass18]

Butler gets a big call back. Very weak travelling call on Singler.

Are you joking?

[liquidrage]

Where's the foul call putting him on the line? Apparently Duke can crash in late hitting the player putting up the shot.

Ah, but I live in ACC land so I already know that. God I fin hate Duke.

[brooks_thompson]

oh shit!

[Jackass18]

LOL, Zoubek threw Howard to the ground and no foul.

[TennesseeFan]

Butler basketball! Out on Duke with 33.7 seconds left!

[liquidrage]

Wow, NT game down to this. Awesome game. Even if Duke does kill babies.

[chazzy]

WOW Zoubek...

[Basketman]

Cmon Butler!!

[DouXer4ouR]

13.6 make a play Butler.

[liquidrage]

LOL, Zoubek threw Howard to the ground and no foul.


It's Duke. They don't foul.

[BULLZ]

Someone is about to win the game right here.

[insidehoops]

Duke up 1, Butler ball, 13 seconds left in game, timeout!

[TennesseeFan]

Coming down to the very last possession, very fitting.

Cmon Butler!

[Rican_Havok]

Looks like it's going down to the last shot. What an exciting game!

[Jackass18]

Unfortunately, Duke will win...

[GatorKid117]

It's Duke. They don't foul.

No foul, I don't want to see a game ended because of a foul.

Come on Butler, so close!

[UK-NJ]

Unfortunately, Duke will win...
That's what I'm thinking. Hope not, though! Would love to see Hayward make something happen here.

[TennesseeFan]

damn, timeout, the suspense is killing me

[KingOfTheJokes]

i forgot that this was on LOL oh well get to see the best part close game NICE

[Tito Beasley]

I've never seen a team have to inbound the ball from that close to the corner.... :wtf:

[TennesseeFan]

Aw great shot by Hayward, just ringed out.

[Jackass18]

Yeah, only 2 fouls there!

[liquidrage]

#@*$((*!

[GatorKid117]

F.ck!

[DuMa]

wow that almost went in

[~primetime~]

oh my god if that would have gone...:eek:

[liquidrage]

Seriously. I hate Duke.

[brooks_thompson]

oh...my god

[Jackass18]

Worst championship team in a while

[TennesseeFan]

OMFG, Duke is so damn lucky.

Duke is National Champs, barely. But National Champs nonetheless.

Great season, Duke.

[RoseCity07]

OMFG that almost went in. F*ckk...I feel bad for Butler. Duke got lucky.

[chazzy]

Both of those shots looked good... holy crap.

[IlliniFan]

Wow that half court shot almost went in. Ridiculous.

[Jackass18]

Damn, it's almost like that shit was scripted...

[Derka]

I want to thank all the internet streams for collectively dying @ 33 seconds left in the game.

That being said, Duke can get bent. Good game, Butler.

[Kiddlovesnets]

Here goes the BLUE DEVIIIIIIILS!!!!!
:party:

[DouXer4ouR]

That was supposed to go in...dammit.

[GP_20]

:applause:
to both teams. I knew both teams were really really good and this was going down to the wire. As I said earlier, both deserve it, but just one had to win.



Great Game.


And congrats Duke!

[ryantheporchkid]

Oh well. Great game though. Almost perfect way to finish one of the best tournaments in recent memory.

[insidehoops]

Duke beats Butler 61-59, wins NCAA basketball championship!

K.Singler 19pts 9rbs 3blks. J.Scheyer 15pts 6rbs 5asts 3blk

[Qwyjibo]

Risky call to intentionally miss the FT. Little time left I know but if you make it then the worst that can happen is OT.

[knickballer]

Does thig game make singled a 1st rounder?

[RandomBalla55]

:applause: to Butler for putting in a great effort. Feel terrible for Hayward.. his fade away shot, while ridiculously tough.. looked good. Just didn't fall.

:applause: to Duke to winning the Natl Title in one of the better tournaments recently.

[gotbacon23]

i feel physically ill thinking that the yankees, lakers, and duke are all champions right now. thank god the colts lost the super bowl otherwise i would have to kill myself.

[O.J A 6'4Mamba]

:applause: to Duke to winning the Natl Title in one of the better tournaments recently.

He had 4 seconds. Guys like John Wall and Derrick Rose would have gone coast to coast in that time. Guy barely made it past halfcourt. Good game though

[mlh1981]

i feel physically ill thinking that the yankees, lakers, and duke are all champions right now. thank god the colts lost the super bowl otherwise i would have to kill myself.

and the Steelers won it not too long ago :mad:

[Jackass18]

This probably means the Lakers will win it all

[jaydacris]

get a glass of water coach k

[RandomBalla55]

This probably means the Lakers will win it all

Sadly, probably.

Wish Hayward made that shot.. damn, I would've ****ing gone crazy.

[gotbacon23]

i'm watching HGTV for the rest of the week. no need to watch sports.

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

i feel physically ill thinking that the yankees, lakers, and duke are all champions right now. thank god the colts lost the super bowl otherwise i would have to kill myself.
lol, fck the colts...that woulda been crazy if the cowboys won it. duke/cowgirls/lakers/yanks (as far as popularity.>all other teams

[WhySoInsecure?]

how many FTs did they miss in the first half? that's your game right there

[Kingwillball]

This probably means the Lakers will win it all


Has nothing to do with it..and BTW- Duke wasn't the Best team in Tourney going in but got hot at the Right time and had some favorable matchups..

[Kingwillball]

Sucks Butler lost would have been quite a story but the good news for them they have virtually there there Key players Back next yr.. They have a chance to make another run next season.

[MK2V1GP]

not really. this is once in a decade kinda tournament for them. last year they had pretty much the same team and was out in like first or 2nd round.

[RandomBalla55]

Wow, CBS just ruined One Shining Moment.

That was the worst One Shining Moment and doesn't do the 2010 NCAA Tournament justice with how great this tourney was. Can't believe they got rid of Luther's version of it..

R U a Dunce ? Haven't U heard of teams growing togethor and Gaining Experience. Last Yr Butlers main 2 players Mack and Hayward were Frosh this yr Sophs..next Yr Jr's and will only be More experienced, Confident and Better overall players.. the Core 4 of Mack,Hayward,Nored,Howard are all back. Butler will be ranked in the top 10 in the country next yr to start !

[KG215]

In a way it kind of does. The only real memorable team didn't even win the natty. It was a great tournament only because the field was very weak, and there was a ton of parity in college basketball this year. I saw a lot of close games where high quality basketball was lacking quite a bit.

[DuMa]

Coach K just ruined Zoubek's NBA prospects.

Zoubek did that all by himself throughout the years. Anyone considering him higher than the 60th pick is a lunatic.

[RandomBalla55]

In a way it kind of does. The only real memorable team didn't even win the natty. It was a great tournament only because the field was very weak, and there was a ton of parity in college basketball this year. I saw a lot of close games where high quality basketball was lacking quite a bit.

The field was indeed weak, but there was SO much you could've put into One Shining Moment.. and somehow CBS ****ed that up.

Beyond the fact that Jennifer Hudson is now singing it, where's the clips from Xavier - KSU? (Particularly Crawford's 3..). Ish Smith's GWer on Texas. Pondexter's GWer on Marquette. Hell, how about St. Mary's banked in 3 to take the lead on 'Nova? There's more, but that's just off of my head.

I mean, I guess I look forward to One Shining Moment too much, but that was the worst One Shining Moment possible.

I'm a UNC fan, so I couldn't stomach One Shining Moment this year. I'm hearing from a lot of people that it was terrible this year. Although it was a craptastic field, it was still one of the most exciting tournaments in a long time.

That was one hell of a game. Congrats Duke!!!

[DCL]

He had 4 seconds. Guys like John Wall and Derrick Rose would have gone coast to coast in that time. Guy barely made it past halfcourt. Good game though

bs. it was 3.6 when zoubek was at the line. hayward had less than 3 seconds after securing the rebound and getting back on the ground. he also had to dribble around zoubek who fronted his path right afterwards. nobody's going coast to coast in that scenario.

[ILLsmak]

Butler choked, simply. The game was well reffed overall (although that call where John Scheyer slid under dude and got the charge was pretty freaking wack going down the stretch); Butler got shots they just didn't make them. Every other part of the game they won, but they consistently missed open looks. Pretty sad.

The only person on Duke I really hate is, ironically, Scheyer... that dude is the epitome of a prep. I would definitely hit him with an elbow or something.

That reminds me of Zoubek (sp?); that dude was slapping people all over the place. He's a good physical center, though, can't hate. He was a huge part of the win... that and Singler being super wet. Man... great game to watch, though, but disappointing.

I don't see how they choked when Butler barely ever had a lead.

[JMT]

Despite knowing that I'm the only one on ISH that is 5-0 on Butler games and 5-0 on Duke games, and I picked Duke?



Fail

4-0 on Butler. Had them losing in the Final Four. So, actually, 4-1.

Another lie, another sad, desperate grab for attention.

5-0 on the games they actually played is what I was referring to dumbass. Did they play Ohio St.? No. If they had, and beat Ohio St., I would've been 4-1 yes. But they played Michigan St. And I had them beating Michigan St., making me 5-0. This is not what was on my bracket, this is the games actually played. Wow you are stupid.

But hey, haters gonna hate

Just trying to sort out your claims. You were talking about those wins as if you picked them from the start before you got called on it.

BTW, I went 64-0 picking the games. Just not on my bracket. That's how it goes, right?

Yes, and that's why I said I can provide proof. I'm the only one on ISH that can say he went 6-0 in the Butler games (w/ proof).

Can you prove your 64-0 claim? No. :oldlol:




Fail


*again



Keep trying little girl keep trying. But you got nothing on the NCAA Expert GP_20 who finished #1 on ISH and 99th% in the country.

Now it's 6-0. BWAHAHA!

You can't even keep track of your own made up stories!

Go away, cupcake. You're not even interesting enough to play with.

Yeah now it's 6-0. And I can prove it. Can you prove your 64-0? :oldlol:

GTFO. See, I don't need to make up stories on my NCAA success, because the truth is already so great. Perfect. That's me. 6-0. Untouchable.


You on the other hand....yeah keep trying.

[GP_20]

You're not even worth responding to JMT.

You talked trash to me before the tournament. Got thoroughly owned. And yet you are still talking. People like that aren't worth much time at all, they are pathetic. They talk the talk and can't walk the walk. Everyone sees scums like you and all they can do is look down upon them. Bottom of human society.


I'll respond to you when you can prove you went 64-0. When you can actually walk the walk instead of just talking.

[Jailblazers7]

You're not even worth responding to JMT.

Then why do you continue to day after day.

[GP_20]

Then why do you continue to day after day.
I've stopped now. I've realize what a low-life person is. I hate those who talk sh*t before, lose, and then talk more afterwards. How pathetic. :oldlol:

[King Lebron LBJ]

That was a great finish. Congrats to coach K.
