Is this really the best the NCAA has to offer?

After the 64-team tournament has been narrowed down to the final 2, only Butler & Duke prevailed. Butler has gone through a tough schedule to get to the final game of the season, but the same cannot be said for Duke. How is it that the third best number one seed got to the National Championship? Easy, the people who made the bracket wanted to see Duke back on top!

Duke, coming out of the South Region, Cal, a depleted Purdue team, and a Baylor team that really wasn't deserving of a number 3 seed. The number 2 seed was a weak Villanova team that was under .500 in their last 10 games. Yes upsets do happen, but there is no way why Nova should have been anything above a 4 seed with their performance.

But Duke did what no other 1 seed did, they played their game, were focused on the job they had at hand with their opponents and won. They had the easiest road to the Championship game, and they simply took the straight route.

Butler has proven that they are a force to be reckoned with as they upset the 1 seeded Syracuse and beat a tired Kansas State team that had little gas left in the tank after their instant classic double overtime victory over Xavier. Butler should thank UNI and Tennessee for defeating Kansas and Ohio State, making their run easier.

I will not take anything away from what Butler has done, they have been playing outstanding on both ends of the floor and are executing the assignment that the coaching staff have given them.

In tonight's title game fight, it will between Butler & Duke, one more deserving because of their road to the National Championship, but that doesn't matter. Who will show up tonight? Can the home team pull out the improbable win (Butler) or Duke seal the deal as they cruised to the title game? We shall see, but I put my Easter Eggs in the basket of Butler. Go Bulldogs
