Duke takes on Butler for the 2010 NCAA National Title
Are you ready for this?
At one end, we have the powerhouse Duke Blue Devils trying to reclaim their spot on top of college basketball. At the other end, we have the Butler Bulldogs who are looking to conclude their Cinderella run with the national title.
That is what we’re looking at heading to the 2010 NCAA college basketball national championship game between no.1 seed Duke and no.5 seed Butler. After the very exciting roller coaster ride we’ve been through this March, it all comes down to this one game for all the marbles.
As of this writing, the Duke Blue Devils are favored to win by seven points over the Butler Bulldogs. It’s not surprising really as Duke just cruised to a 78-57 win over no.2 seed West Virginia Mountaineers before punching in their ticket for the national championship game. Oh, the Eagles were just 2.5 – point favorites then.
The Blue Devils are in search for their fourth national championship in the history of their program while the Butler Bulldogs are looking for their very first title this Monday night.
And in case you haven’t noticed, yeah, Butler will have the odds stacked against them when they play Duke. Hell, they just barely edged the Michigan State Spartans, 52-50, to get to play for the 2010 national title and on Monday night, things won’t get any easier.
The good thing about all this is, the Bulldogs will get to play for the national title in their hometown in Indianapolis.
”We’ve been talking about the next game all year, and it’s great to be able to say the next game’s for a national championship,” Gordon Hayward, who dropped 19 points and nine rebounds against Michigan State in their 2010 Final Four matchup, said.
On Monday night, the Bulldogs will face a team that has become the tournament’s buzz killer, if you will. You see, the Duke Blue Devils tossed a rather wet blanket on the feel-good story the West Virginia Mountaineers have been riding on and now, those guys have the opportunity to go after another one.
After all, they’re not called the ”Devils” for nothing.
