Possibly the worst charging call ever. Unreal...

I love the fight that Butler has showed up with tonight. Easily could have played scared, but these kids are showing some serious heart.

If Duke loses this game, that's an ALL TIME blunder there with the missed layup. He better PRAY that this lead holds

Wow, Heyward almost made that shot.
Watching the replay, I don't see how the ball didn't go in.

I really wanted to take Butler tonight but couldn't talk myself into it because it felt like an emotional selection... on power numbers, Duke -7 was the right number. Was a great CBB season and I'm already looking forward to next year. This game is why college hoops is my favorite team sport.

I also almost took the points, but didn't want to jinx Butler.

Wrote this on twitter, but one thing that's lost in all of this is that as long as Hayward doesn't declare, Butler only loses Veasley and Jukes from this team. They'll be a force next year too. Still, what a heartbreaker. And it had to be against Duke.

I'll be writing a tournament postmortem in the next few days if anyone's interested.

I cant see Hayward going pro this year. He isnt a lottery pick and really needs a lot of work. Playing in the Horizon cant help him much but he really looked lost in the 2nd half of the MSU game and was clearly outplayed by Singler tonight.

The did beat one-third of the sweet 16 teams going into tonight....Ohio State, Xavier, Syracuse, Kansas State, Michigan State. Why would Duke scare them?? I think scared is not really in that team's vocabulary.
