Well, not really, but my colleagues at MiamiHawkTalk (http://www.miamihawktalk.com/discussion/viewtopic.php?t=50440) have outdone themselves this time.

EDIT: Or pilfered the Onion when I wasn't looking. Funny, regardless.

Reminds me of something from one of Brad Stevens' interviews in which he recounted hearing heated arguing in one of the team's conference rooms following a "whiteboard session."

I've forgotten which players were involved, but he walked back into the room to possibly break up the argument and saw that the two players had wiped off all the X's and O's stuff and were arguing over a physics problem.

He said he just smiled and walked quietly back to his office.

Looks like somebody stole somebody's (http://www.dukebasketballreport.com/forums/showpost.php?p=384437&postcount=1) satire.

I had no idea Butler was so expensive (article exaggerates as it appears actual tuition would be $28K/yr.). If they keep winning, they are well on their way to being hated nearly as much as Duke.

Duke and Butler are so similar, which is so impressive. Both being private universities, where academics is held to the highest. I was in Indianapolis for the Final Four, and the Butler fans were very nice and cordial. We met many Butler Univ Students, which were all smart and very friendly during the 4 days we were in Indy. The Championship game involved 2 classy universities with smart athletes and coaching staffs, playing for the National Title. The Final game will be one for the ages. Very proud of Duke and Butler, because both schools do things the right way.... The Duke Way and the Butler Way. Applause applause to Coach K and staff and team, and Coach Brad Stevens and staff and team at Butler.
