NCAA Championship Game 2010 Time Nears for Duke, Butler

The NCAA championship game 2010 time is at the 9:21 pm est. Once the NCAA championship 2010 game time comes, some kind of Hollywood ending will be written. Either Butler will clinch perhaps
the most unlikely national title in 25 years, or Duke will bring some hard reality into this 'Cinderella' story. Most fans and pundits expect the latter, especially after Saturday's semifinals. But if the favorite wasn't considered unbeatable, we wouldn't have a real Cinderella story - and the NCAA championship game 2010 time will bring an end to it one way or another.

Duke and Butler are the most unlikely final two in a while - or at least half of this pairing is. The Bulldogs' rise, return home, and underdog status is very well known by now, as the partisan Indianapolis crowd will cheer for a big ending. Hoosiers comparisons have been endless, even though they may not be that accurate.

As the NCAA championship game 2010 time comes, Butler is now a legitimate long shot for the first time in this tournament. In spite of the Cinderella/Hoosiers storylines, this program has threatened to be this big for some time. In fact, it would have been an upset if they lost to Michigan State on Saturday. But it's how they won, and how their final opponent won, that has truly made the Bulldogs an upset pick.

Butler only had one field goal in the last 12 minutes Saturday, and still won. They have had virtually no offense in this tournament, and they are playing for a title anyway. In contrast, Duke has three deadly weapons, and has only been challenged once in this tournament. Plus, they already tore apart a defensive minded West Virginia team on Saturday, in what was supposed to be their toughest game here.

The NCAA championship game 2010 time is highly anticipated, but there are now fewer people who expect a tight game. Butler may have had some picking their upsets against Syracuse and Kansas State, but not so many are picking them tonight. Yet since they face the hated Blue Devils, most neutral fans - and those fighting for mid-majors - will go for them anyway.

All eyes were on this crucial match. Many were betting for the West Virginia. But as luck would have it at the end of the match Morgan State jetted out to a 10-0 lead over West Virginia.

The result was not a big surprise. But it forced many teams to sit and take notice of the development. Instantly this was something for the 2-seed Mountaineers. They were compelled to think of Georgetown, their Big East rivals who failed to register victory over their rival.

But this is not an end for the team. They must have learnt some important lessons from the match, which they certainly will take with themselves. Besides, this will help the coach prepare the team better for further clashes.

Is it so? No was the answer of Kevin Jones and Devin Ebanks. Insiders say what were on their minds was not this match but their Dayton loss last season. In the first-round of the NCAA tournament last year they were whacked by their rival.

"I definitely didn't want it to end off like that," Jones said. "I'm just glad we got our minds right."

There was nothing for them as West Virginia sailed through to a 77-50 victory.

"Started off 10 points to our zero," Ebanks said. "Just trying to get it going with my teammates. Let's go. Can't have another close game. We have to step on the --- "
