Howard set a vicious blind side screen on Singler as Hayward ran past him to take the last shot. Howard helped Duke a lot in this game. They were better off with him in the game. Butler is a great team, but Howard stinks. He hurt his team more than he helped them. Hayward is a tremendous player and will only get better.
from CNNSI: “when Lance Thomas took down Hayward hard to prevent an easy layup with 5:07 left. The refs reviewed the play and decided not to call it flagrant”
Dude, if you look up “flagrant foul” in the dictionary, they could use that play as an example. Butler shoulda had 2 FTs and got the ball back.
