I had the instant classic part right. Not the correct victor though.

Outstanding title game.

No one did (probably even themselves) until the bracket came out the way it did on selection Sunday.

Take the referrees out of this garbage and Butler won hands down, not impressed at all, Duke had a cake walk through the tourney, and then the refs give them the game....

One hell of a game. Butler has unbelievable heart. Duke just had a little too much.

It's time for "One Shining Moment."

What a wild NCAA tournament. I loved it.

Gotta feel for Butler, and especially Hayward. The entire team played well, but he almost made two of the most difficult shots of the night to win the game for his team. Almost doesn't count, obviously.

Congrats to Duke, I suppose. I hate them more than ever now, but they earned this title. I never dreamed this was a national championship caliber team. Good coaching job by the Rat.

WOW, WHAT A GAME!!!!! Can't believe Hayward's shot almost went in, I almost shit my pants. Looked like Zoubek tried to miss the last free throw, not sure though. Butler played a great game, and certainly would have been worthy champions, hats off to them. CONGRATULATIONS DUKE!!!!!!!!!

If Howard flops a little bit on that screen, its a foul on Singler.

First the committee jobs the other 3 top seeds by giving Duke a cakewalk to the Championship game then the officiaiting hands this one to Duke. Another great game screwed up by the NCAA and their desire to have the rich get richer.

Uneven officiating, but that's to be expected since Duke was on the floor.

Time for endless cliches about how Butler played well.

It all comes down to Zoubek using an elbow to clear out Howard that would make GSP or Anderson Silva proud. Of course it didnt get called.
