2010 Net54 NCAA Tournament bracket contest

[Rob D.]

I could be wrong, and feel free to peruse the official standings here, but this is how I see the Net54 pool playing out:

If Duke beats Butler:

1. stonegrasmere (W. Stone) -- 1,240 points
2. theskyisblue23 (m. neal) -- 1,160 points
T3. LA.Lakers. (J. Garner) -- 1,020 points
T3. Scott T (S. Opottamus) -- 1,020 points
(Tiebreaker to be used to determine third place)

If Butler beats Duke:

1. Scott T (S. Opottamus) -- 1,020 points
2. stonegrasmere (W. Stone) -- 920 points
3. brian-nolff (b. nolff) -- 880 points

Good luck to the contenders; hope it's a good game. (The above projections are not official.)

There's always a place for a Seinfeld moment.

I am not anti-Duke, nor have I understood the hatred of the Blue Devils (not on this board per se, but in general), but I will be rooting for Butler because as a native Hoosier, it is my duty.

That being said...

Duke 73
Butler 58

I am also dreading the pre-game and the inevitable "David vs. Goliath" and "Hoosier II" comments from the announcers.

Scott,

You have to grow up in North Carolina. In my neighborhood, the pickup games were always between groups of kids who had an affinity with either Wake Forest, N. C. State, Duke or Carolina. I remember the heated rivalry between Frank McGuire (later Dean Smith) and Vic Bubas. My best friends were Duke and Wake Forest fans. Of course, I don't really hate Duke, I have just gotten used to saying that for 50 years.

Edited to add I do despise that weasel headed coach of theirs.

Just kidding
