Duke vs Butler in the NCAA Final

[gladdyontherise]

So whats the excuse for Kansas losing to Northern Iowa, a #9 seed? The tournament is unpredictable, Baylor isnt an impressive win? You obviously haven't seen them play this year.

You don't get what i'm saying, Duke played in by far the easiest bracket and it was on purpose...

Kansas played in the same bracket as Ohio State, Michigan State, Maryland, heck even Tennessee..

My point is it was made to make sure Duke got to the final 4, completely opposite for Kansas, they were put in the hardest bracket this year

Gladdy, your logic is completely wrong. It's been easy becasue the Devils made it look easy... No one complained about the Duke bracket before the tourney started and how come more people didn't pick Duke if it was so simple? Only 42% of people picked them to win their Elite 8 game on ESPN; 16% picked them to win their final four game, and 6 % picked them to win on ESPN. Not very indicative of an easy road considering all the top seeds (and a lower one here or there) were picked ahead of Duke.

Sounds to me like someone is a Duke hater and gives no credit.

GO DEVILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, I was complaining about their easy road when it was announced, mostly because they werent deserving of a #1 seed, Ohio State was in my opinion, Duke won a cupcake confrence, big wup, the Big Ten was light years better this year then the ACC

I disagree, the Big Ten's only other good team was Michigan State, and they weren't really playing well all year long. Ohio State was deserving of a #1 seed, but Duke played well all year and did deserve a #1 seed. So their bracket was weak, but no one gave them a chance to make it to the Final Four, much less the title game. Duke has shown up each game and played well. They beat a much more athletic Baylor team, and shut down a red hot Mountaineers team.

Purdue is no good?

Big Ten took 2 teams to the elite 8, and 3 in the sweet 16 and it wasn't lucky (well Michigan State just got lucky in matchups)

After Purdue lost their star player, they weren't the same.

Of course not, but they still were a good team, and still finished 2nd (i think) in the Big 10

I don't have a preference on who wins - I just hope, and believe it will be, a good game.

I am a huge Duke fan and I do have to agree that they had the easiest road out of all 4 number 1 seeds-but they have no doubt earned a spot in the championship. I hope they win; however if they were going to lose to any team I would want it to be Butler. Butler is a classy team with a bunch of great guys and a great coach too.
