Let's Play devil's advocate for a Moment.....
Everything is the same, But Butler had 5 Seconds More Left on the Clock
First off is there was 5 more seconds on the clock, Duke wouldn't have intentionally missed the FT. They may have gone up by 3.
Better question is: What would the outcome of the game been if the Ref's called a 5th foul of Zoobek when he blatantly threw Matt Howard to the floor with 33 second left.
Lets see a poll with this question. I believe Butler nails 2 ft's to go up by one, than Duke runs the clock down, ticky tack foul called on Butler and Duke misses both FT.
Agree with zeeman. Not really a valid question as Duke wouldn't have missed the FT, Butler might have milked the clock down to the same time frame and the result could have been exactly the same.
Not to take the fun out of it but...

Again, both players fighting for the basketball on the rebound. Good clean play. Get over the Duke hate and get your ass back in the baseball forum so you can make me some money. And yes, I am taking you down in the H2H contest this year.
