Screw you Duke, Butler deserved to win. They played like a real champion.
Duke is a bunch of spoiled brats with golden pacifiers. Butler is a scrappy team that played hard and was not given a chance. I would say Butler deserved it more and played with passion but Duke got the breaks as usual.Classy.
An excellent effort by both teams. Butler had excellent defense and a good game plan. Both teams gave 110%. As said previously, Duke won it; but Butler didn't lose it. Both teams deserved the chance to win. Duke prevailed.

They will be a strong contender next year. Most of the team are sophomores.great game, i was rooting for butler. oh well, next year.
Will the NCAA officiating committee please, please, please let us know why Duke gets every call? And maybe they can explain what K tells them to influence every game. I'd really love to know. I'm so sick of watching teams lose to Duke because of poor officiating. It's not fair. It's unconscionable.![]()
Don't be that guy. To blame officiating for Duke's wins is a display of your ignorance of the game. Duke won this game fair and square. There were questionable calls that went against Butler, like the charge on Heyward drawn by Scheyer, but there were also calls missed against Butler as they were absolutely hacking Zoubek, Singler, etc. down low getting rebounds. And no one would ever call it, but the last pick on Singler thet gave Hayward the last shot was an illegal screen. All in all, this game was actually well officiated, and the officials let the game play out without callint stupid touch fouls.
Duke deserved to win as they played better than Butler overall. Stifling man to man defense on both ends of the court was the biggest factor of the game.
Both teams played extremely hard and deserved to win the game, but Duke just won in a tight match. Congrats to Butler for a great game and tourney run, and congrats to Duke as 2010 NCAA champs.
