NCAA Championship Game Score: Duke University 61, Butler University 59

After a nine year absence Duke is back on top as the Blue Devils won the NCAA National Championship title, making it number 4 for Duke head coach Mike a Kryzewski. The Duke Blue Devils withstood a last seconds push by the Butler Bulldogs, with Duke surviving and beating Butler 61-59.
After the victory Kryzewski spoke at the post-game media conference. Duke's head coach said,

The game was so good that anybody could have won," he said of the Blue Devils 61-59 victory. "I don't think we were lucky to win because we earned it. But there is something ..."

Krzyzewski trailed off, took a second, and began to speak again.

"I think we won because of these guys," he said. "And as good as the Butler story is, was, and will be, our story is pretty good too."

The story of the Butler Bulldogs must be acknowledged. A young head coach, a team on a 25 game winning streak, all accomplished with a student enrollment of 4.200.
But the story on the court belonged to Duke.

The Bulldogs grabbed 12 offensive rebounds against the Blue Devils in the opening half and turned those into a 10-3 advantage in points. They only got two more offensive rebounds the rest of the way.

"I thought that was key," Krzyzewski said.

So after a nine year absence the Duke Blue Devil have reclaimed their position as the premiere men's college basketball program in the NCAA.
