PUBLIC ALL OVER DUKE

85% clip, likely to continue.

If you like Butler, you may get an extra point before tip off.

Now stands at +7

I have Butler +5000 (2nd rd bet), so I have personal interest to see them win.

Public has been correct last few years--however: This is a lot of points in a defensive championship game.

DUKE 5-0 ATS in this Tourney. 5-1?

Of course they are. They are all "smarty pants" who know everything there is to know about basketball. That's why Nebraska beat Texas in the BIG 12 Championship Game (then there was an extra OT of 1 sec), and all the "experts" threw away their tickets--but not their egos, since they feel Texas "didn't play their game."

This is ok--we want a lot of noise by the "experts" who feel "it is impossible for Butler to win, because DUKE is sooooo good."

This forum will be all over DUKE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, since covers is also "square."

Ask great coaches that played Butler this year what kind of team and defense this is: Jim Boeheim, Ben Howland, and now Tom Izzo.

This is largely about perception: It's about Horizon League (noone EVER sees them on tv) vs the ACC (which gets way too much free ESPN publicity from pundits like DICK Vitale)

Butler beat Ohio State, and that was your clue they were better than the best of the BIG 10. Sometimes you don't get much more evidence than that for a wager.

I think "the public" is right on this one.

Dook.

This has to be DUKE's best shot in years, c'mon: A mid-major with no All Americans, no experience in the Tourney.

It is their's to not lose.

Howard of Butler needs to have better presence for Butler to stay close and have a shot at the end. DUKE had too many rebounds on WVU--well, mountaineers played shitty defense, but their star did go down injured, so the blowout win needs an asterisk*

I think he's questionable for the game with a "head injury" ..

Ohio State was playing their first game without the Player of the Year, Evan Turner... on the road

They beat MSU without their best player Lucas, starting SG Allen with torn ligament in foot (scoreless), starting PF Roe torn miniscus

I think they can beat Duke though.  Butler can defend their asses off.

Well said brother !!  Bulter had better shoot a little better this game than they did against MSU are they will have their asses handed to them !!

cuz covers retards, such as george carlin, think they are above the so called public, but they are too stupid to realize they are the public

+7.5 Butler

(opened at +6.5)

Still 85% on DUKE
