Duke 33
Butler 32

Halftime

Good half for Butler. Howard on the bench for a while and they're still right there with Duke.

He might be the answer to a trivia question someday if he keeps this up.

This is one of the great things about the NCAA tournament and the Final Four/title game in particular....a guy unexpectedly stepping up and having the game of his life.

Your smoking crack if you think that was the game of their lives. Their second best player on the bench for most of the half...and their best player hasn't done much at all either. If those two get going.....

Butler's missed a bunch of layups that they normally make and they're only down one. They have to keep after it on the boards and Mack has to attack whenever one of the white boys switches on him. Scheyer and Singler have no chance of staying in front of Mack. If Howard settles down and they do the rest, Butler has a chance.

They're playing the games of their lives????? Really?

I think that they could play better. They've played well but it's not like they were unconscious in the 1st half. Maybe Jukes was. LOL

Butler has missed a bunch of bunnies, missed open shots, gave up wide open shots to Duke. That is NOT playing the game of their lives.

Umm....Their big three have 13 points combined on 5-19 shooting. Not the best game of their lives.

Great first half. Butler is showing they belong and Scheyer and Singler are hitting big shots. Can't ask for a better game so far.

Howard could still have a key offensive spurt in him, like he had against Syracuse.

Only having two fouls is big.

Duke has not been getting offensive boards from Zoubek for the kickout, wide open 3's. Nobody should be surpised by this score.

It's been an even game actually.

Both teams are excellent defensively but that hasn't prevented either team from running their sets and finding the open shot.

Just a matter of make or miss at this point, IMO.

I still think Butler will snip down the nets. The usual Duke ref advantage hasn't reared it's ugly head...at least not yet. :D

Not sure about that, but he does come across as that obnoxious fan who doesn't even know what the fuck is going on out there. He thought Butler got two possession arrows in a row. Pay attention....they overturned one of them and gave it to Duke due to a mistake with the possession arrow.

His team is playing in the national title game and it's like he doesn't know what's going on. LOL

Duke won the first half, and will surely win the second.

And you can take that to the bank.

Why the FUCK are they going to talk to Nolan Smith's mom at half?!?!? Did she do something special??? Or did Coach K get her a job within the school too??
