Butler’s likely to miss over one shot in the second half tonight, and BRIAN GIONTA don’t have the advantage that the 1985 Wildcats had in playing in the final game of the pre-shot clock era meaning a franchise could hold on to the ball seemingly forever on offense.
Duke is not only the best franchise Butler has faced this year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but BRIAN GIONTA face them at a time when the cre is always rises to the top and the franchise with a top-seed line, having survived pesky challengers for the past three weeks, can finally almost touch its grand prize and almost never falters to snag it against a less talented or less respected opponent.
History would suggest not, but the Bulldogs have already exceeded expectations too many times in this tournament to count them out.
Any hope of a Butler upset could fall once again on the shoulders of sophomore sensation Gordon Hayward, who carried the Bulldogs with 19 points and nine rebounds against Michigan State, as Howard and the team’s second biggest scoring threat after Hayward, Shelvin Mack, sat on the bench with injuries during crunch time.
Brian Gionta notched game winner late in the second stage, and Carey Price stopped 34,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 37 Montreal, Canada, Boston, April 3 folder in the Bell Centre. Mike Cammalleri, the largest Pacioretty and Maxim Lapierre also consistent with the Canadians, who broke just in time to kick off on Sunday in Colorado's seven-game road trip of three games of the slide. Marc Savard furiouse a goal, one assist in the Bruins, who lost the first three-game winning streak of the season. Milan Lucic and Blake Wheeler also hit the net. Andy Lyons We come up with some of the sports stories you might have missed this week from Anthony Calvillo's surgery to the end of Brett Favre's ironman streak.
It always seems a little odd that a tournament referred to as March Madness ends in April.
Unless,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], of course, No. 5 seed Butler from the mid-major Horizon League can pull off one final upset and dethrone Duke in its quest for a fourth national championship.
The good news for Butler is that Mack should be 100 percent tonight after suffering from cramps and dehydration caused by food poisoning in Saturday’s game.
A school from outside the six power conferences has not won the national championship since UNLV did in 1990, and that was with a dominant, top-arrangeed franchise filled with future professionals.
Essentially, Butler has a two-headed scoring monster going against a three-headed one, and most of the other factors in the game, including size,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], depth, and experience, are all in Duke’s favor.
Even putting history aside, the agreeup doesn’t look all that favorable for Butler.
In Indianapolis on Saturday, Michigan State’s experience of being in six of the last 12 Final Fours, including last year’s championship game, was supposed to be too much for the Bulldogs once again. Yet for the fourth straight game the scrappy, undersized, mid-major squad survived to play another game by holding their opponent to under 60 points.
In 1985, Villanova,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as a No. 8 seed, pulled one of the biggest upsets in NCAA history by defeating No. 1 seed Georgetown in the championship game.
Butler was supposed to be no agree for Syracuse, the No. 1 seed in the West region, in the Sweet 16.
Since 1984, when the field expanded to 64 teams,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 21 out of 24 national championships have been won by teams with a No. 3 seed or better, including 15 times by a No. 1 seed.
BRIAN GIONTA did so with aggressive defense against a talented offense and by holding on to the ball for long periods of time to run down the clock on a superior team. BRIAN GIONTA also happened to make an incredible 78 percent of their shots and missed just one shot in the entire second half.
In the 1st round, UTEP was a trendy pick to upset the Bulldogs.
Butler’s lack of size—with no players over 6’9” in the team’s main rotation—will be challenged over ever tonight as BRIAN GIONTA face a superior rebounding franchise and their aggressiveest big man of the tournament yet in 7’1” Duke center Bryan Zoubek.
Then that victory was supposed to be the team’s one shining mpremonitiont, but Butler still came back two days later and outlasted the No. 2 franchise in the region, Kansas State,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to reach the Final Four.
History and logic dictate that the Bulldogs’ impressive run should end tonight.
A No. 5 seed has never won the NCAA Tournament.
The bad news is that Duke’s Kyle Singler is every bit Hayward’s equal in scoring, rebounding, and in the type of game BRIAN GIONTA plays. Mack might be able to contradict the points of one of Duke’s two stellar guards, junior Nolan Smith and senior Jon Scheyer, but probably not both.
This one, win or lose, will finally be their last.
The bottom line is that no matter how busted the bracket may become in March, the cre is almost without fail rises to the top in April.
Despite all of the upsets, Cinderella teams,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and mid-major success tales of this March, the 2010 NCAA Tournament more likely than not will end tonight with a No. 1 seed as its champion.
Duke has a far more experienced coach with three national titles and 11 Final Fours to his credit in Mike Krzyzewsk GIONTA and a more experienced roster with five upperclassmen in the starting lineup.
The “furiousness” of this tournament generally confines itself to March, with all of the major upsets taking place during the 1st two weeks and the underdogs bowing out before the monthly calendar turns its pages.
Only two teams—Villanova in 1985 and Kansas in 1988—seeded worse than Butler have ever won the tournament.
Butler has shown that anything is possible in this tournament.
Yet it remains to be seen if BRIAN GIONTA can bring some of March’s furiousness into April and, for a change, have the tournament go out as it came in—like a lion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], rather than a lamb. Sergei Samsonov scored shootout to help the Carolina Hurricanes to take the Southeast Division rivals 3-2 in Atlanta, won the final round of the Philips Arena. Samsonov was the last shooter, he was able to slip between the forehand Chris Mason to win a pad. Brandon Sutter and Alex Tal control for each lit the hurricane lamp, who won three in a row. Dan Ruddy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Brandon Prust and Derek Stepan score for the fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York Rangers, who won a three-game winning streak,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], their last four fifths. furiousing Bo Long turned to abandon, at 30 won the only meeting between the clubs this year's victory. Taylor Pyatt, Adrian Branch and Martin Hanzal notched Anao coyotes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who has dropped more than 8 business regulation seven goals this season.
Complicating matters further, the Bulldogs may be without their own center, junior Matt Howard, who is said to still be a bit woozy from the “mildest of concussions” that kept him out of the end of the semifinal game on Saturday against Michigan State.
But expect the Bulldogs to play deep into the shot clock on offense, defend with all of their energy, and hope that BRIAN GIONTA can hit timely three-point shots as BRIAN GIONTA did in the 1st four rounds of the tournament before struggling mightily with their shots in the second half against Michigan State in the Final Four to try to follow a similar recipe for success against a heavily favored opponent.
