Around SBN: In Crunch Time, Spurs Don't Change Their Game

TheOpenThread: Butler vs. Satan, NCAA title game

The above videos are filled with profanity, excessively juvenile and scatalogical humor and plenty of haterade.

And truth.

Sadly, I think we'll only have a couple more hours to bask in Duke mockery before Coach K carries off his fourth NCAA championship. This whole season has made me question the existence of an almighty being; Duke waltzing through possibly the easiest NCAA Tournament region ever while the other top teams faltered is just the cherry on top of the atheism sundae.

Anyway, use this thread to talk about the game and to imagine the new ways ESPN will come up with to grovel at the feet of Mike Krzyzewski, Four-Time National Champion, Leader Of Men And PR Genius.

Let's go Butler.

Some pregame inspiration

Coach K knows that he will have to break us in Indianapolis or lose the war. If Butler can stand up to him, all America may be freed and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands.

But if we fail, then the whole world, including the University of Connecticut, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new dark age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the specter of flopping white guys and hideously fawning media coverage.

Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties as fans, and so bear ourselves, that if the empire of Duke haters survive for a thousand years, men will still say, ‘This was their finest hour.’

—Winston Churchill (paraphrased)

Duke, on the other hand

Needs to get two or three buckets in a row coming out of halftime. They can’t let Butler hang around much longer…but for whatever reason, I see them coming out, hitting a bunch of wacky 3’s, and going up 10 with 15:00 to go.

Zoubek takes a seat with his ninth foul

Anyone else think the refs were going to be ballsy and not call anything on that last play?

Interesting side note:

Some guy at the gym had to be asked to leave because he kept swearing loudly at the television during the first half.

Assuming the refs actually call fouls on Duke, a good strategy.

At least they got one of them.

Lots of whining by me, but honestly, every shit call that goes for Duke ought to be documented.

Five point lead

Butler badly needs a score and a stop.

And now they get a blocked shot. If Duke hits a shot, it may be ball game with 6:45 to go.
