It'll be the whitest final since the 50s, I'd guess.
-
if duke wins i dont think ill watch the championship game. i dont really care about wvu but im not a fan of duke
-
I'm now pulling for Duke in hopes that they are the Butler killers. So, everyone take note of that in your preferred manner.

Me too. I really think Duke is going to kill Butler.
I can't believe I'm going to cheer for Duke, but I've just seen Butler players stagger drunkenly down the baseline and throw up some gawdawful slop one too many times. I don't think it's too much to ask that our Final Four teams be able to drive to the hoop without tripping over their own feet. A Butler win would set back college basketball about 50 years.
-
Why would you have trouble cheering for Duke? I love them.
-
Love the Devilkats
-
It's rough ridin' win-win.
DevilKats versus the team that took us out....holy crap, it's a gift from God.
-
Sister school! :excited:
-
Then there is the whole Duke winning anything makes jayhawks sooooooooo pissed :peek: :lol:
More importantly I hate butler more than uk at this point, mid-majors and their little mans complex, pfttt! :jerk:
-
:opcat: vs :opcat:
-
I don't get the duke hate. they are great.
-
Duke f'n Wayne vs Mr. Belvedere. Some final this is :rolleyes:
-
I don't get the duke hate. they are great.
They play the right way.

the fact that ku fans think they should be mentioned in same breath as Duke is laughable.

If Duke wins Coach K will effectively establish himself as the best college basketball coach of this generation, that is if he's not already. But a 4th title (2nd to only Wooden) would seal the deal.

I agree and honestly you can't even really compare Wooden and Coach K. They might as well have coached on different planets. Can you imagine a program winning 10 championships in 12 years these days? It's just a totally different game now. Wooden was a hell of a coach no doubt, but I'd argue that Coach K's run of consistency in this age of college basketball is one of the most impressive coaching achievements there is.

I agree completely.
He's also doing it at a school with an alumni base about the size of Wichita State.

I would agree with all of that. That's sort of what I meant by "this generation", anything before about 1980 is a different era really.

And he did it in the shadow of dean smith

The best part if Duke wins is pissed off KU fans mumbling under their breath for days about how much they hate Duke. While myself and fellow Emawers make fun of the pouting KU fans. Its a good time.
-
Sister school! :excited:
DevilKATZ! :excited:
-
The ONLY reason I wouldn't mind if butler won is that we could KU it up and claim 2nd place in the tournament.

Good Call!
-
It's a matchup of teams that the refs hate calling fouls against. This is like hockey.
-
Hayward is getting a "Jordan" whistle
-
Scheyer looks juiced. His neck is way out of proportion; he looks like Mark McGwire.
-
Wow, what a great game.

i can't imagine that they do. do you actually know a ku fan that says this?
-
LOVE that the shot from halfcourt was inches off. Butler fans are gonna be all "It was soooo close :frown:" for a while.
-
Good lord I hate Matt Howard.
-
Good.
Now we can get back to real basketball with athletes and run outs and 70+ pace games.
Butler can take their Hickory Hoops and keep it in Indy next year.
Now let's get past the trophy junk so we can get to One Shining Moment with the Cats.
-
Suck it, "team basketball."

Butler kicked our asses. Just like they did MSU and Cuse.
Give them their.
Not saying it is extremely entertaining, but it is effective.
-
yeah, lots of whiners in this thread.
butler was better than us, deal with it.
-
Butler was indeed better than we were. All the more reason to hate them, right? Or is this some kind of classy call for respect? eff that.
-
No one ever said Butler wasn't better, but that doesn't mean I have to like their "first one to 60" playing style.
-
Horrible OSM, that fat rough rider can't sing

It's also important to note that he's done it with a few different styles.
In the late 90's/early 00's, Duke was loaded with elite talent like Brand, Maggette, Battier, Williams, Dunleavy, Boozer, etc. They were disgustingly good. They should have won the title in '99, but they were just sick in their domination during this time period. It's kind of like it was back in the early 90's with Laettner, Hill, Hurley, etc. There was a lot of NBA talent on that court.
However, after K got burned after all of that talent left earlier this decade, he changed his style to less athletic shooters that would stick around for four years. Where he had teams with dominant inside players, he instead created a team and offense based around perimeter shooting. And while they still weren't as dominant, they were still damn good.
Tonight just validates the fact that K can win no matter what type of style he wants to play. He's now won four national titles in three different decades (91, 92, 01, 10) just speaks to his longevity and talent.
He's also got a gold medal as well.
-
Uh, butler not better, I'll take my chances with a rested cats team especially in Dukes position with lots of film on them against good teams. :comehere:
-
Alotta shitty players got a championship ring tonight. The big 3 were damn good.
