Not much of a game by either  team. Butler was so inept offensively that you never got the feeling that Duke was ever not going to win.

I owe you some white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies.  So where do I buy those at?

Jaycee

not sure that he fully clarified that I would actually have to be "baking".  He might actually prefer I buy him some cookies instead.  My "skills" do not happen to be in the kitchen.

Jaycee

just like love, baking is nothing more than practice and a little TLC! :-D

salt, is the only ingredient I have in my house.

Jaycee

to see you in an apron and nothing else, I'll bring the rest and together we will practice baking.  Either way, I think the kitchen would get heated and some quality cooking would be done! :P  Keystone can have the cookies, I want the baker!

.....that type of cookie is only best when homemade and baked, easy to do.  Your "skills" are very much lacking.

but I didnt get to where I'm at, in my 17 years at my civilian job, because I spent a lot of time in the kitchen.  I am VERY good at what I do in my civilian job.  God made "take out food places" for a reason.

I've ever seen. Nothing fancy, just good solid fundamental basketball.

But ,if that last shot would have gone in Duke would have lost ;)

But it didn't go in. Hayward missed that shot just like he missed almost everything else tonight.

for the National Championship in front of 70,000. Granted, both teams didn't shoot particularly well, but the largest lead was only what 5 or 6 points. I thought the kids on both teams showed exceptional poise, and the game went down to the wire. Maybe I'm a purist, but I thought both teams executed their game plans, good ball movement, and tough defense. Just another reason for me that I prefer college basketball vs the NBA.

"Butler was so inept offensively"  how can this be true with a 2 point spread?

If you enjoy the pro game of 6'8"+ guys that spend most of the night not playing defense and dunking 30% of the time you are probably not going to be happy with a ball control hand in your face defensive style of game.

This was the only way Butler has a chance to win, hard nosed ball and have a chance to steal the game at the end.  You play within your strengths and with the talent you have.

Because Butler shot 34% from the field and their top two offensive players were a combined 7-25. This was after they shot 30% against Michigan State, an inept offensive team.

the defense on both sides was actually very good, but there were more than a few missed bunnies.  Was a very entertaining tourney.

correct--home made cookies is a must, not bought from a store.  My dear, you have been provided (pun intended) with the receipe and your local grocery store will sell you the incrediants you need.

I will let you know in advance before I come to Dallas.  Once we have our date with cookies during the interlude between rounds, I will report back here re. your baking skills.  The rest will be between us, unless you want me to write a review.  

Oh, yes it was a great game played by two defensive minded teams.  Coach K said before the game (CBS interview) that he was concerned about Butler's defense.  He was correct; Duke players had trouble getting good shots all night.  What wasn't mentioned was Duke's defense, especially in rebounding and blocking shots.

here's hoping you get those 'Cookies'-smile   Have a Great week, All and as the Great Terrapin always says, 'ACC.'...oh, YOU know the rest....LOL   1rob...still basking in the afterglow.....OUT    8-)

i only saw the last play. if he could not had banked in shot i think it could had gone iN. amazing how this butler team could go so far without scoring and still be in game.     anyone tell me how hell they Stayed in game with such a lack of offense.i was impressed by butler to take duke so far, down by 5, how hell they knocked it down to 1. from all press clipping WHAT A GAME, THEY CAME SO CLOSE. I WAS ROOTING FOR THEM, I WAS SO OFF ON PREDICTION.
