Butler took Duke to the final possession Monday night, but Gordon Hayward's potential game-winners drew iron as the Blue Devil won the national title 61-59.

EVERY questionable call went to Duke.

I know Coach K is a GOPer, but it makes me sick nevertheless.
“EVERY questionable call went to Duke.”
Sorry, but that is just not true.
Butler had quite a few gifts this last two weeks.
6 months of baseball, yawn. Have they figured out a way to keep each game under 4 hours yet?
Great game. What a great efort by Butler. Pretty amazing.
I agree. That is ESPN’s title not mine.
Would Hayward’s shot been “The Greatest Shot of All Time”?
My son had Duke in a blind pool. 64-1 odds for $10.
“Would Hayward’s shot been “The Greatest Shot of All Time”?”
YES!
“EVERY questionable call went to Duke.”
I did not see game, but if true, this makes me sick! - nothing is beyond corruption in these terrible days!
Where’s Lorenzo Charles when you need him?
Butler was the best basketball team in the best basketball game I have ever seen.
Yup...
That may be true for the last two weeks, but tonight, almost every questionable call went in Duke’s favor, especially at the end. I could believe that when he threw Hayward down with arms flinging, elbow to the face, and no foul. Zeigler held him on the 2nd to last shot as he circled the paint. Then the non-intentional foul call. Duke played great, but the officiating was clearly slanted toward Duke tonight.
What made me happy about the game is that the court was populated at all times by nothing by the finest in American youth. These were almost all kids from the hinterland — not from the little blue pinpricks on the electoral map. That to me meant a victory either way the game turned out.
