Goliath Barely Survives David! Barely!

On a day in sports where:

- Tiger Woods gives another interview

- NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb traded to Washington Redskins

- Major League Baseball opening day games nationwide

The biggest and best story of the day though was the exciting NCAA Men's Basketball Championship game between David and Goliath. Instant Classic!

The Duke Blue Devils, playing the part of Goliath, were expected to dominate the smaller, and assumed lesser, Butler Bulldogs. The game turned out to be one of the best Championship games in the history of the tournament. The teams went back and forth from beginning to end with the final Butler desperation shot banking off the backboard and clanging from the rim at the buzzer. It was that close.
ESPN Quote:
---------- "Butler didn't lose this game, Duke won it"


Final Score
Duke 61
Butler 59

(5) Butler 59
(33-5, 18-0 Horizon)

(1) Duke 61
(35-5, 13-3 ACC)
