cbs guys are shaking in fear right now of a WVU-Butler title game.

 

luckily for them so are the refs

 

I could be wrong but Butler in the championship is better than Michigan State as far as viewers go. I think a lot of people will really want to watch an small conference underdog because it rarely happens. I also think Michigan State in the championship again without much of a chance against WVU or Duke would cause a lot of people to tune out just as having OSU in the BCS Championship two years in a row killed ratings.

I'd say 99%, with the other 1% being Duke fans.

Outside of gambling and one's bracket, I don't see how a non-Duke fan could root for Duke in that game

Yeah but I don't see how this is different than any other Duke game. Duke is a polarizing team like the Yankees. You are either a fan or you hate them. Every game Duke plays it is 99% rooting against them and the other 1% being the Duke fans.

Flipped over to ESPN just in time to see Digger wondering how Butler is going to score with Duke on Monday as if it's a lock that duke is going to score 75 points are something.

 

It's like he forgot Butler held Syracuse (80.9 ppg) to 59, Kansas State (79.7 ppg) to 56 and all five tournament opponents to under 60. I'm not saying that Butler is going to win (though I'm certainly rooting for it) but it's not like Butler skated through the tournament without playing some very good teams that can score.
