Shooter's National Championship Game Posting early b/c I will be in attendance at Lucas Oil Stadium just like Saturday. Ended up 2-2 with Butler and Butler 2nd H Under as winners (couldn't post b/c was away from computer) and Butler Game Over and West Va as losers.
601 Butler (+7')
Thank you to the Butler people and the media with the Howard injury (he will play), I got an extra half point out of it.
Duke will not shoot the % they shot on Saturday and Butler will shoot better than 31%. Butler did a phenomenal job of chasing screens on Saturday. Butler's guards defensively are tremendous.
Duke will shoot worse on first shots, Butler will have to hold their own on the boards like against MSU. West Va lost the game in the first half by giving up offensive boards.
Being at the games Saturday, the crowd was a non-factor b/c it isn't that noisy. I just have a funny feeling this goes down to the wire. I also think this game may be called tighter, which favors Butler.
