INDIANAPOLIS (AP) _ Every good Hollywood film needs an underdog
and a villain.
With Butler and Duke playing each other, Monday's national title
game has all the makings of a blockbuster.
Tiny Butler (33-4) is one victory away from finishing off its
version of ``Hoosiers,'' taking down some of college basketball's
biggest names in its magical run. But it hasn't faced a team quite
like Duke (34-5), three-time national champions whose name is all
over the NCAA tournament record book _ and who fans just love to
hate.
This is Butler's first appearance in the title game, the 10th
for Duke.
