Anyone know what happened to the W Virginia player with the knee?
Butler (Milan Miracle II-For those not from Indiana, look it up!) has a REAL CHANCE to beat Duke...
West Virginia would have run all over them.
I saw one. I hope I wasn't hallucinating! It was one of those that didn't look like much. I guess if you looked close you could see it. I think Zoubek had his knees flexed and Butler was actually blocked by his shins, so his knee was trapped in an awkward position and suffered a severe strain.
A lady friend who watched the game with me tonight said she thought Huggins look a lot like Alec Baldwin. Just different hair do.
I agree, his team is done.
You posted, He was going for a layup; not a rebound.”
Exactly right. The Duke defensive player was standing still and Butler,(the WV player) going for a layup fouled the Duke player. A reporterette described the injury as being on the outside of the player’s left knee.
This injury, as bad as it was, had no affect on the outcome of the game in my estimation as the Duke Bluedevils were unstoppable.
The showdown between Duke and Butler should be a doozy. Be sure to have plenty of popcorn and “adult beverages” handy....Thanks for that terminology, Rush.

All of the West Virginia players have a knee, in fact, two of them!
AFter the LaCross thing I have no use for Duke. If butler can beat MSU it can beat Duke. Bad refs at the MSU game by the way.
The strange thing about the NCAA tournament and the ACC, since 1982, with the exception of 2005 (and 1991 sort of), whenever an ACC team has won the Championship, it was followed by another ACC team:
1982 UNC
1983 NCSU
1992 Duke (Duke won 1991)
1993 UNC
2001 Duke
2002 Maryland
2009 UNC
2010 ??????
You're disgusted with student-atheletes who were innocent of any wrongdoing?
I live less than two miles from one of the Duke campii, and honestly, I am not sure who to root for. It’d be kind of nice to see the local guys win, and I do like Coach K in general. But Butler is such a fantastic story, and besides, if Duke loses, there’s less chance of drunken Dookies finding my neighborhood. Tough call.

There is nothing worse than a drunken Dookie. LOL Too funny
