I don't think so.

Then again, I never imagined them getting this far.

Thoughts?

They can. Perimeter D is their calling card. Duke's size will be a problem.

Any team with great D ad ball security has a puncher's chance in a one game setting.

Absolutely. Butler's perimeter D is stellar.

EDIT: Well, BMFPV beat me to it.

All I can say is, if Duke wins this tournament with the way things unfolded this year....it will be a major letdown.

Duke had it hand picked for them this tourny. I would love to see Butler knock them off. I dont see it though.

Handpicked? Playing Baylor and WVU is not having it handpicked.

Butler better keep Duke off the offensive boards if they want any hope.

I see Dickie V has hit the Duke Viagra tonight. They asked him about Butler and he gave a 2 minute orgasm on Duke's play tonight. He makes Bert Bertlekamp look like a neutral observer.

He was all over Butler prior to today's game.

If this tournament has taught you anything, it should be that nothing's impossible. Butler is certainly capable of winning, but obviously they won't get away with another 10 minute FG drought like they did tonight.

But that said, I think Duke wins by a comfortable margin. I just don't see Butler making enough shots to keep up with Duke for 40 minutes. But again, that doesn't mean it can't happen.

Man that was epic. How they won doing that is monumental.
