(#5) Butler beats (#5) Michigan State. It was a game that came down to the final minute. Butler made a key defensive stop and got the won. Congrats to Butler! Go Horizon League!
And...
(#1) Duke beats (#2) West Virginia 78-57!!!! Everyone thought this was going to be close but Duke wins by twenty-one. They started the game getting easy buckets inside and then kept hitting from 3. Duke shot 13-25 from 3-point range. And while 21 sounds big it really could have been bigger. WVa shot 5-10 from 3 in the first half and they got a lot of calls. All the smack of Duke getting all the calls was bull today as West Virginia was getting bailed out by the refs all night. Without the help from the stripes, WVa would have lost by fourty. And for all the talk of how tough the Big East is you know how many times any of the eight Big East school beat a higher seed in this tournament? Zero. And how many Big East teams are in the finals? Zero.
A great, great night.
Duke plays Monday for the national championship!!!!
Go Duke!!!
