. INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Duke won its fourth national championship Monday night, forcing Butler's Gordon Hayward to miss with 4 seconds left to hold off the Bulldogs 61-59 and end the tiny school's run at the title one game short of the perfect ending.
Kyle Singler had 19 for the Blue Devils and Brian Zoubek rebounded Hayward's miss and hit one free throw with 3.6 seconds left to give Duke a two-point lead.
Hayward rebounded Zoubek's intentional miss and threw up a desperation heave at the buzzer, that hit glass, bounced off the rim and out.
The win gave Mike Krzyzewski his first national title since 2001 and fourth overall, tying him with Adolph Rupp for second on the all-time list.

Darren: Since you brought it up,I'm a man. I'm neither a music weirdo nor a band freak. Furthermore,I lift weights and run on a regular basis,and am in better physical condition than a lot of younger guys that I know. I just get nothing out of watching,following,or talking about sports. My feeling this way does not make me any of the things you said. It just means I have an opinion that is different from that of the majority of others. Like I said before...it's just a game.
So what! Duke is still Puke, Carolina is still Carowhina, NCSux is still a joke in everything except for farming, Wake is still fake, and the NBA is much better basketball to watch than college. I will start watching college ball once my boy Reggie gets it done up in the hill. Why does college basketball become so much more popular than the NBA around here is one thing I have never understood.
