Running 2010 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament thread

Hell of a game. Now let the crybabying commence continue into the night.

Gotta love Duke. The Blue Devils play the game the right way. Just an all-time scrappy effort.

 

Great end to a great tournament.

If only Butler hadn't missed all those great shots in the first few minutes of the game. So many what ifs...

 

They wear blue.

 

Just a great, great championship game.

 

Chitwood would have drilled both those shots.

 

Two years ago, Hayward won the Indiana HS state title with a lay-in on a deflected 80-foot pass at the buzzer. Almost saw him blow that play away there.

 

Wow. If any casual fan decided before tonight not to watch the game, they missed a knock-down, drag-out game with a near-miracle basket.

Duke damn near got Christian Laettner-ed by Gordon Hayward.

 

That was an all-time classic.

Too bad we won't see anything like it ever again with the idiots at the NCAA deciding to go to a 96-team tournament.

 

That was a lot of fun.

 

Did he try to miss on purpose, though? Seemed like he was trying to make it. Did K signal to miss? I get missing it if there's like a second left and the clock will certainly run out, but with more than 3 seconds and when you're not really challenging the board, think you should make it, because the other team, as we saw, is getting a shot to win it.

 

Great finish but I feel...like Teddy KGB... so "unsatisfied". Shoot, if I was a Duke fan... I wouldn't feel that great.

Yet is basketball the only sport (both college and pro) where I feel the champions of 20+ years ago would have beaten the crap out of these teams? I never feel that way in college/pro football.
