He's got to play for Butler to have a chance against Duke.

pretty safe to say, he will play in this game. You would have to be in a coma not to play in the NC game

Butler needs him and he will definitely help their chances of winning, but let's not forget he essentially didn't show up last night

This I agree with. Without him, I don't think they have a chance. With him..I wouldn't bet against them!

Easy to say this. But all it takes is for a Doctor to say no go, and he has no choice in the matter.

Yeah just watching Howard play over the past couple years, there is no doubt he will play if it's his decision.

It won't be.

Really? They just beat Syracuse, Kansas St and MSU within the past 2 weeks. This team is better then people give them credit for, and I didn't think they would get by any of those teams. What really impressed me was against MSU. MSU uglied the game up as much as they could and Butler matched it. Defensively, they are extremely good. I agree, they will have to play good to win, AND have Howard. But they won't have to be great.

Butler has taken everyone out of their game with their defense.

Syracuse, Kansas State, Michigan State. Even UTEP was very talented and athletic.

With Duke there is that danger of them hitting a run of 3s and going up by 10 or more, but I know Butler will be closer to the shooters than WVU was.

Butler is similar to Duke in their help defense and just overall competitiveness, taking charges and so forth.

Really?
Yea, really!! I did bet on duke and gave 6.5 points. I suspect the line will get to 8 or 9 before tipoff.

like we have heard already in this tourney.
I'm sorry that the facts bother you, but injuries have played a major role in this tournament.Syracuse lost Arinze Onuaku, Purdue lost Robbie Hummel, Michigan State lost Kalin Lucas, West Virginia lost Truck Bryant and then Dasean Butler. I can't remember another tournament in which injuries impacted so many different teams.

Once the game is over, do you put your Duke gear away or do you wear it for the rest of the week? Then which team do you start rooting for?

Seriously, get over your insecurities with your own team. If Duke goes on to win...they have the title no matter what the circumstances. Does it really matter? Only for you I guess. Your the one with the issues here...

Yep, he's a go for tonight. Now he's just gotta stay out of foul trouble.
