CHAMPIONSHIP

In Monday nights NCAA championship game Duke narrowly escaped the Butler Bulldogs 61-59. No one in the tournament had scored over 60 against the Butler defense and Duke needed exactly that to beat the Bulldogs.

This is Duke's first championship since beating Arizona in 2001.

NIT championship

One year after winning the NCAA national championship the North Carolina Tar Heels could not grab the NIT title. UNC lost to Dayton last night 79-68.
This may have been the last year for the NIT with talk of NCAA tournament expansion. Do you think the NCAA will expand, and will the NIT be a tournament next season?

UNC and NIT

North Carolina is on the way to the NIT championship game. Last night UNC narrowly escaped URI in overtime, 68-67. UNC will face Dayton in the title game Thursday.

Do you think the Tar Heels can cut down the nets in the NIT title game?

Duke to Final Four

Even with a lack luster performance from Kyle Singler the Duke Blue Devils were able to outlast Baylor 78-71. This is Duke's first trip to the Final Four since 2004 when they lost to Uconn.

Do you think Duke can get past their next opponent West Virgina?
