Butler did a similar thing on Saturday against Michigan State.
Up by 1, make the first free throw, missed the second one, get the rebound.
I thought when he missed the second free throw, it might be deja vu.

Yes. On a made free-throw Butler would have 5 seconds to run the baseline to inbound the ball. With no timeouts, they had to grab the rebound and run....
Well, I must say, that game last night was one for the ages. Anyone who didn't tune in because they thought it'd be a blow-out missed out on quite possibly one of THE very best NCAA Championships of all time! What a fitting end to a great tournament! From beginning to end, I don't think even Hollywood could've scripted it any better.... well, with exception to the final heave by Hayward going in.
That game sucked! It was like Hoosiers all up until the end and then Jimmy Chitwood misses. WTF!
I'm sorry, but there's no way game 1 of a 162 game schedule could compete with the instant classic the rest of us were treated to last night.
Duke did not lose a single game this season when they wore the white home jerseys (their losses came on the road, when they were either blue or black).
Pretty interesting fact there.

The Big 10 has been looking to expand. Anyone wanna make book on whether Butler will end up there? They have the academic credentials that the Big 10 needs and their teams cannot be considered "flukes" any more.
BTW, the game was one of the best I can remember. Duke was lucky to have escaped with a win in the game, IMO.

Carolina Bias?
On the left is the front page of the Charlotte Observer the day after North Carolina won the 2009 national championship. At right, the front page following Duke's National Title. What gives?

LMAO! :haha What gives is UNC is the home team in North Carolina and dook is not. I bet the Newark Star Ledger had a full page spread for dook, but no way in Charlotte.On the left is the front page of the Charlotte Observer the day after North Carolina won the 2009 national championship.

Quite the opposite. college basketball is one of the most boring sports to watch...slightly above professional basketball. It involves no meaningful strategy (unlike baseball, football, hockey or even soccer) which is why nobody watches college basketball during the regular season. Personally, I don't need to piss-away 2-3 hours of my life watching such drivel on my television...or should I say dribble. Anyway, you asked my opinion. I apologize if it was not the answer you were expecting.
I'm glad you feel that way, but I completely disagree. Duke outscored the other team during the 1st half; Duke outscored the other team during the 2nd half; Duke won the game, which everyone knew would happen. Again, I am glad that you enjoyed the game.
No meaningful strategy? You must not know much about the game then. College basketball has tons of strategy in it. And there are tons of fans who watch college basketball throughout the regular season. Hence why so many games are on TV.Quite the opposite. college basketball is one of the most boring sports to watch...slightly above professional basketball.

They have their priorities right?
It's the same in most States, where the State's flagship university gets more coverage statewide than other schools, especially the private ones.
for example, Florida gets more State coverage than Miami.
