It was just a great game. I was pulling for Butler only because this is likely their best shot for a long time. Mabey ever. Duke will be back in the near future again. But congrats Duke. It was a shame either team had to lose.
Their fans are unique... but hardly in a hateful way. Take my son. It got his undergraduate at Duke in computer science and went back a few years later and got his MBA there. He's been to the final 4 for 3 of Dukes Championships. This year he had no intention of going. He came back from a week in California on some job interviews. Got home late Friday night. He and one of his buddies were talking, and they called another guy. Sunday afternoon they packed it up in a car and drove from Atlanta to Indy. Called a couple other friends. One came down from Chicago, one from St Louis. They all scalped some tickets and went to the game. Last time my son was in Indy was to see Duke win a National Championship too. LOL
