I own a Duke t-shirt. It was a gift. I liked them early (mid '80s) when they were trying to breakthrough. WAY TOO MUCH Christian Laettner LOVE during his college career turned me off. If only Rick Pitino had covered the inbound pass...
Somewhere at my parent's house, there is an old Butler poster. The guy who was the big basketball star of my high school ended up going there and since my brother played basketball, he got a poster. My class valedictorian also went there, but she didn't stay there, so I really wanted them to win, but it figures Duke won. A school named for tobacco barons won. It doesn't seem right to me.
I love college hoops, and appreciate what Butler accomplished with that winning streak they started in December and only ended last night. Duke was the weakest 1-seed this season, but they played with efficiency during the tournament, and it was enough. Congrats to all involved in that championship game...
Great final game, great tournament, and overall good season. I'm a die-hard Kansas fan, so I was disappointed - but not surprised that they went down so early. Little bit overrated in my opinion this year.
