Few predict Butler-Duke NCAA tournament final

Posted: 04.04.2010 at 2:19 PM

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Talk about an unlikely matchup.

A spokesman for ESPN says 1,430 entrees in its online bracket contest have Duke playing Butler in the national title game on
Monday night. That means only .03 percent of the 4.8 million entered brackets had the correct final.

The Bulldogs beat Michigan State 52-50 on Saturday and the Blue Devils defeated West Virginia 78-57 to advance.

Of the 1,430 brackets with the correct final, 492 have Butler winning it all.
