That was supposed to go in...dammit.
: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!
Oh well. Great game though. Almost perfect way to finish one of the best tournaments in recent memory.
Duke beats Butler 61-59, wins NCAA basketball championship!
K.Singler 19pts 9rbs 3blks. J.Scheyer 15pts 6rbs 5asts 3blk
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.
Does thig game make singled a 1st rounder?
: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.
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.

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

This probably means the Lakers will win it all
get a glass of water coach k
[QUOTE=Jackass18]This probably means the Lakers will win it all[/QUOTE]
Sadly, probably.
Wish Hayward made that shot.. damn, I would've ****ing gone crazy.
i'm watching HGTV for the rest of the week. no need to watch sports.

lol, fck the colts...that woulda been crazy if the cowboys won it. duke/cowgirls/lakers/yanks (as far as popularity.>all other teams
how many FTs did they miss in the first half? that's your game right there
[QUOTE=Jackass18]This probably means the Lakers will win it all[/QUOTE]
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..
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.
Haters are going to hate.

One Shining Moment is the gayest tradition in all of sports.

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.
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 !

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.
Coach K just ruined Zoubek's NBA prospects.
'He cant jump!'

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

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!!!

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.
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.

So who's the final 4 MVP?

Not if you live in Pittsburgh.

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