It's final, my #2 & #3 teams face off.

Know matter what, I'm still a winner!

Mf

Sleep well my good friend, and enjoy this beautiful evening.... <grin>

Well, I thought that WV got screwed on their seeding, that Duke got overseeded, and that WV should have been in the #1 slot that Duke got...I was itching to be proven right tonight.

Guess that didn't work out so well for me...what an ass whoopin'.

Fish on...

Read today WSU had an awesome spring training day, both offense & defense kicked ass!

WSU Football baby!!!

My IU boys didn't come close to making the dance. Second fiddle for me was MSU. I grew up there and lot's of friends went there.
They made a good show.
I'm now on team Butler.
[censored] Duke.

That was one fine and exciting game!

Sg

Excellent game, too bad Butler didn't win it all.

Mf

yes great tourny for sure! butler lost the game going over 6mins without any buckets. to lose by 2 to duke says something for butler.

Chuck, altho I was rooting for Butler (love to see the underdog win), I think the better team did win. Duke had the lead most of the time, led by up to 6 points, while Butler never led by more than 2. Seems like Duke had the edge, and likely why they were favored. What I enjoyed is that Duke had to work plenty hard to earn their victory, when I consider that Butler's mid-court buzzer shot could have gone either way. Duke didn't own it until after the buzzer quit sounding. Basketball doesn't get any better than that.

I was just glad to see two teams hit their free throws for once......great game!

did you guys catch the devastating pick the butler guy put on that duke player? like at 1.5tick mark. that duke got guy musta got every bone in his body rattled!!!

I saw Zoubek put some devastating choke holds on the Butler players late in the game. Duke won a physical game down low. Butler couldn't hit their outside shots and let Duke get too many offensive rebounds. Duke defended Hayward well.

Any one watch UCONN come back and lay a whoop-n on Stanford?

Sad, very sad.
