Butler needs to do a little acting of their own. When Zoubek backs down a much smaller player.....screw it....flop. Make it look like you got bowled over.

Might have to come back with Howard soon. He's just going to have to play smart.

LOL @ all ball. The deflection was all ball. The shove to the floor wasn't.

wow, do you not have to dribble anymore? First the no call on the hip check, then an obvious travel. I was afraid this would happen....the "powers that be" will see to it that Duke gets the W!!!

exactly. It's their only shot with him, plus it would hopefully give Duke a taste of their own medicine if the calls went Butler's way on the flops.

Howard needs to smoke some good weed to settle his nerves before he comes back in. He can't panic around the rim if Butler is going to keep it close.

If I was a teacher I would kick them out.

Right.


Smith looked like he tweaked an ankle right before K called the TO.

that's good they didn't have to use Howard

I don't think he would've been able to avoid that third foul just the way he plays

Wow, a Duke flop, then they hammer Heyward, and they call a jump ball.

You could hear the hack on that one. Should have been and-one.
