I said it before (last week), and I'll say it again: Tonight's national championship college basketball game is going to be a blowout.
Cinderella stories are great for the first few rounds. But when Butler and Michigan State played their Final Four game, with Duke and West Virginia on the other side, it was a guarantee that tonight's title game wouldn't be close.
Can anyone honestly think that Butler has a shot against Duke? Maybe a few days ago people did, but after watching Duke dismantle WVU on Saturday night, there's not a doubt in my mind that the Blue Devils will win the program's fourth national championship.
They have three stars (Jon Scheyer, Nolan Smith and Kyle Singler) and Brian Zoubek, their 7-foot-1 offensive-rebounding machine of a center. Butler has Gordon Hayward, who is really, really good, but he can't beat Duke by himself. And the Bulldogs, who haven't shot particularly well the whole tournament, will need to improve on their 15-for-49 shooting performance against Michigan State if they're to have any chance.
Unfortunately for the feel-good story of the Big Dance, Butler has no chance.
Duke 79, Butler 59

The prediction field is not your forte. Now I admit that my prediction (Duke 70, Butler 60) was off, too, but not by nearly as much.
Just on a side note, Josh and I made a bet the night of the 3-point contest. Josh said whoever came out of that side of the bracket (Duke or WVU) would be the other side (Butler or MSU) by at least 25. So we bet. And I felt bad so I dropped it to 15.
And still won.
Ice Cold Krueger......WRONG AGAIN!...Josh you are one comical dude...."duh, Duke will dominate....duh"...LOL
