I was all set to jump up and scream "s**t yeah!" if he hit that half court shot.

I fell on the floor and grunted involuntarily.

That game was a basketball nerd's dream. There were no players that dominated with their athleticism, so it was all schemes and execution.

Stevens overcoached by doing that cutesy offense/defense crap with Howard. He shoulda been out there more. Damn, what a game.

Zoudek was the difference. Butler couldn't handle his size.

agreed, I wish duke would have went to him more. He seemed to have a pretty clear shot more then half the time they ran the screen and roll with him.

Such a great game, I was pumped. Butlers coach is going to be the next great one, he had his kids playing great ball, great D, motivated and execution. He is so young i wonder how he felt going against Coach K.

And on the Duke front, those are my boys!! Another chapter in the tarheel blue devil rivalry, they win it last year we win it this year!

It's ours next year...

LMAO. There was no athleticism out there. I don't think there was a single significant pro in the game, but it was great nonetheless.

It's just a down year, dont you worry...

Anybody who loses Hansbrough, Lawson, Green and Ellington is bound to well, you know, not perform at the same level as the previous year.

This. That game was amazing. Left me speechless. That Hayward kid took two great shots, damn shame neither of them fell.

Instant classic.
