[EMAWzified]

It'll be the whitest final since the 50s, I'd guess.

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.

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!   

DevilKATZ!

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.
