NCAA Championship Game Update

The NCAA Championship game will be played on Monday night and the story begins to unfold. It is a story much like David versus Goliath in that Duke is the big powerful school and Butler is the little known team. Many people either really like Duke or they really hate them, much like the New York Yankees. It seems as though everyone is starting to rally around the Butler team, hoping the underdog is able to take down the giant.Butler University saw their star players, Shelvin Mack and Matt Howard leaving the game on Saturday, Mack with dehydration and Howard with a mild concussion, they will need to be healthy for Monday night’s game in order to give Butler a chance of winning. It is apparent that Duke is a bigger team and stronger, they will have to make sure that they can get the rebounds. They will also have to figure out a way to limit Duke’s three point shots. Butler will also need to continue to shut down Singler, Scheyer and Smith, who in the win againstWest Virginia combined for a total of 63 points, which was six more than West Virginia scored as an entire team. For Duke University, they need to make sure that they respect Butler’s offensive and defensive threats in order for them to win theNCAA Championship game.
