It’s Butler Bulldogs vs Duke Blue Devils for the 2010 NCAA Finals, today at Lucal Oil Stadium. Butler center Matt Howard is included in the starting lineup. Howard has recovered from a concussion he suffered against Michigan State in the semifinal round. As stated by the doctor, Howard remains symptom-free so he’ll be fit to play.
Howard attended the practice sessions of the team and is ready to help the team in the championship game against the bigger Duke frontcourt.
Aside from Matt Howard, the team is expecting good performances from Gordon Hayward, Shelvin Mack, Willie Veasley and Ronald Nored.
During the semifinal round, Shelvin Mack suffered from leg cramps which prevented him to score more. He’ll need to contribute more in their game against Duke because if he’ll just stick to 14 points in the game, it will bea an easy game for Duke.
Duke’s Kyle Singler is a threat to Butler. He has an impressive performance in the semifinals against West Virginia. He had a record of 21 points, 5 assists, and 9 rebounds in that game. He’s like a scoring machine in the floor. So Butler should guard him well or else, he’ll lead Duke to the victory.
