Duke Pulls Off Championship
The Butler Bulldogs, who had won 25 straight games coming into the Championship, had tremendous momentum going into the NCAA National Championship game and put up a very exciting fight with the lead never expanding more than six points. They came close to winning this one too. With seven seconds left to play and a one point deficit Butler’s six foot nine inch sophomore Gordon Hayward missed a fifteen foot baseline shot Duke rebounded and was fouled with 3.6 seconds left. Brian Zoubek made his first foul shot expanding their lead to 2 points, and then purposely missed the second to force an attempted half-court shot by Butler.
When the ball hit the backboard and rim then fell away, the crowd of 70,930 fans seemed to gasp at once. To remember Duke’s championship victory I will be donning my NCAA basketball jerseys for my support going into next year.
March Madness is Upon Us
March is here, and to sports fans that only means one thing: March Madness. Even if you haven’t watched a game the whole season, it is difficult not to get caught up in the lore and mystique that the NCAA’s culminating tournament provides. We are already starting to get a bit of a March Madness appetizer with the various conference tournaments taking place.
Despite the pageantry and spectacle inherent in the tournament, selection Sunday will undoubtedly leave many teams left asking questions and fans throwing down their college basketball jerseys in disgust. Some have suggested expanding the field or altering the selection process, but no matter what you do, there will always be people on the wrong side of the bubble.
