Well, this one's done. I wonder if Butler's defense can perform against Duke?

[GaYellowDawg]

I'm still in awe of Butler's run - a mid-major eliminating a #1 seed, a #2 seed, and a bracket champ on their way to the final.

1. They certainly played great D against Michigan St

However Duke can shoot accurately from the perimeter so that spreads out the defense. I'm sure home court advantage will help them out as well.

2. They damn well better

because I live on the ground floor, so I can't even jump to my death if that goddamn filthy dirty repuke wins another title. :cry:

3. Oh, I get it now,

we adopt teams based on perceived politics of their ? coaches ? CLEVER of us!

4. Well, that, and they knocked UConn (men) out of the tournament two years in a row

just when the men's team was trying to establish itself -- once on a last-second shot just like the one they used to beat Kentucky in the next round. :grr:

And it's not "perceived" politics: the needlenosed piece of crap used to hold fundraisers for ex-Sen. Liddy Dole (R-Reason Husband Needs Viagra). :banghead:

5. Hey, now. Back off of him.

He hates UT. That makes us buddies.

6. Go Butler & Shelvin Mack

Duke is the devils team.
