This has been a much tighter game than many suspected it would be.
Duke 33, Butler 32.
The Bulldogs were able to stay close despite point guard Ronald Nored picking up his second foul and going to the bench with 11 minutes to go in the first half.
Butler has done a reasonably good job, defensively, and hasn't allowed the Blue Devils to pound the offensive glass quite as relentlessly as Duke has during the tournament.
It will be an interesting second half.
And, by the way, I don't recall a championship game with a crowd quite this loud.
