" Final Four- Finals: Duke or Butler? "


           So the final four is over.  It's now down to duke and the Butler university.  I swear to god, I don't think I've ever seen so many white guys in the finals.  This year's brackets had me really guessing.  It's just really ironic, I mean I've been a duke said for years…  Basically sense I was five years old.  But I guess I've given up on them, let me rephrase that, I had almost given up on them.

         So Duke and Coach K are headed for the big show, and personally I think they've got an easy win ahead of them.  Butler, a mid-major college from Indiana; straight from the cornfields of where basketball was created.  I really would love to say Butler has a good chance to win...  But that's simply not the case.

         Butler just does not have enough offense, it's really that simple.  Duke, on the other hand, has one of the best offenses in the nation.  Now butler is known for their tedious game plan in trying to limit the game to as little possessions's as possible.  If each team gets 50 shots, the butler coaches happy.  Too bad!

          Coach K and his fellow players are the real Duke this year.  They have of all the pieces they need.  Now while Butler is trying to slow the game down and keep the possessions clean, duke is going to do the exact opposite.  I am officially predicting a 20 point win by the duke blue devils and grant hill will be smiling tonight.

      I would go more in depth, but this game just seems too obvious; you've got duke, a huge school with many juniors and seniors who have experience, while butler is still that second tier mid-major college.  Butler wants to keep the game total near 100 points while duke wants to score 100 points by themselves.
            
         I would start going off about the fact the Butler head coach presents himself in the essence of John Schyer; are the mormon brothers?  Anything is possible.  But back to the subject....... So...

         Yes.  Defense wins championships.  But, if your not be able to score 70 points in 40 minutes of gametime, well, your defense better be friggin a life changing experience, haha, because you still need to put the basketball in the hoop.

         I will keep this clean.  Duke wins by 17 with the second half running away.  Butler and their schematics will work for probably 10 minutes, maybe 20, but I'm taking once that second half starts and Coach K and crew counter with a European style basketball lineup…  Just like he did with the Olympics last summer winning gold.

JoshFarc's OFFICIAL Prediction:


-Duke 74

-Butler 57


       
         Butler keeps the pace semi-slow in the first 10-20 minutes, maybe the whole 1st half, and it's an ugly game like 30 to 30.  But Duke will go on a crazy run sometime with Scheyer, Schindler, Nolan, and all the others (Zoubek and other KEY role players).  I predict a 13 to 0 run by Duke to help them get that lift.  Then it's smooth sailing and I hope you got someone to bet against you and Duke.  It's really not that hard as people seem to really hate Duke, unless the love them; very unipolar style.


GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DUUUUUUUUUKKIIIIEEES!
