REfs had this game set up for Duke to win. Butler had a chance to snatch the victory but came up a little short. The announcers make me sick though. What Duke droolers. Reminds me of Chris Matthews and the tingle up his leg and all.

Congrats to BOTH of these teams. No shame in losing this game. It was well-played, and super competitive.

Definitely! What an incredible game... we'll be hearing much more from Butler in the future.

Yeah, great game. I liked both these teams going in. In every championship game, you have to think it’s a shame that one of them has to lose, but that was especially true tonight.

EVERY questionable call went to Duke.

Ziegler was holding all the way around the lane on that 2nd to last shot. Hayward was knocked down about one minute to play (ball went off the foot to Duke). Then that intentional non-intentional foul.

My nerves are shot -— and I’m just a fan!!

Yippee for Duke, but Butler made history. This was just about the best game I’ve ever seen — just too much on the nerves!

“we’ll be hearing much more from Butler in the future”

Stevens future is now definately secure, and I see a contract renegotiation in his immediate future.

Coach K makes $3.7 MILLION dollars a year, from salary and endorsements.

Stevens makes just $92,000.

That was a truly outstanding game. It was a great victory for Duke, but Butler played a heroic game. i have nothing but respect for the Bulldogs. I look forward to seeing Gordon Hayward play in the NBA.

Since I wanted Duke to win, I thought the analysts obviously were rooting for Butler! You have to admit that it was as if Butler was playing on its home court which gave them a little bit of an advantage.

Had Butler won, it wouldn't have been too bad to lose to such a great young coach. I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot of him. On the other hand, Coach K is the grandfather of 7 and does not have that many years left as an active coach.

You can bet the folks from Bloomington are calling him right now.

His pay will go up. That's how it works.

Hayward - - a pic I took that was on SI.com.

Actually Howard is a junior, Hayward is a sophomore.
