Butle
r showed they are truly among the better teams in the nation by beating a hobbled Michigan State team. They reached the NCAA National Championship game. For that they are to be congratulated.
But let's be realistic. Neither Michigan State nor Butler is at the level Duke showed last night. So, it looks like Butler, while providing great drama and entertainment, will become another notch in Duke's belt this season.
The difference will be Duke's inside and outside game. Butler will give Duke's guards trouble, but Duke can bring too much to the inside.
That's my prediction and I'll stand by it at least until Monday night...
