Ted Valentine is bordering on Eddie Hightower and Karl Kess status right now. Man is he bad

Can't get lazy. They have to get up on the shooters.

I may be way off and I'll call myself out if I am.....but I think we're in store for an instant classic. I think Butler pulls off a mild shocker in a whale of a game.

Zoubek is helping his NBA stock though in this tournament. He'll never average more than 2 points per game in the league, but he is a very good rebounder.

Butler has gotten open shots through the first 11 minutes

some haven't fallen but they've run their offense well, other than the possession when Hayward had to get the rebound

Howard misses another bunny and then commits his 2nd.

Howard is rushing his shots inside. He's panicking under the pressure.

Howard 2 fouls

that was a little weak going for the rebound

My buddy is there, and he said it's LOUD. Looks like a fantastic atmosphere. I've really enjoyed it so far, hopefully it keeps up.

Those shots aren't falling for Duke like they were against WVU. Butler's D is harassing them and Duke is just missing some.

Tough no call on Heyward's last drive. It was close, but you know that whistle blows it that was Singler instead of Heyward.

Duke is getting some decent looks from outside, though. Butler is a little fortunate that they haven't hit a couple more 3s.

But I think Butler has to be pleased with the offense. They've gotten open shots for a variety of guys.

Shouldn't have even come to that...Scheyer had Howard's arm on the follow up.

I could be wrong, but in this tournament I don't recall as much Duke flopping as in the past. It seems they are going back to their bread and butter tonight.

Scheyer can't keep up with Mack. He needs to attack him all night.
