Duke vs. Butler: 2010 National Championship | FULL GAME

If Hayward’s shot went in it would have been considered the best NCAA Title Game of All Time.

As a Butler fan and a huge basketball fan, seeing butler lose this game with so many missed opportunities hurts. What a great 2 runs they had! Wished that shot would’ve gone in:(

This game put Brad Stevens and Butler on the map. Another great game

If it went in it would have been the greatest shot in basketball history

Best NCAA Championship game ever. If the last shot would have hit Lucas Oil would have been absolute pandemonium.

Here after the Zags UCLA Final 4 when Jalen Suggs DID make that half court shot! We all wanted to see Hayward make it! 2021

Wow. Just finished reading Underdawgs by David Woods, and felt compelled to watch this game afterward. Butler's rise throughout the 2000s is one of the best examples of hard work and slowly building up a program paying off in the end, and that's with that final shot by Hayward missing by just a few mere inches. If it goes in, Butler's Cinderella run in 2010 probably goes down as the greatest basketball story ever told.

As a UNC fan I must admit this was a great Duke team. They built themselves for years before becoming a champion. Nothing but respect. I miss seeing seniors become champions, on both teams. Congrats to being the last team to have a group of seniors who worked hard and deserved a title. Go Heels!

That last rebound, dribble drive, and half court shot was one of the most entertaining and electrifying plays ever. Glad Hayward went on to become an NBA All Star.

It's a shame that Butler, the team that could've given the Horizon League 2 national championships in two consecutive years, lost both the national championship games against Duke in 2010 and then against UConn in 2011. Will miss the old Wright State - Butler matches

Butler missed a lot of shots early in the game that they should have hit....what could have been early, or what could have been late if that Hayward halfcourt prayer went in!

I was 7 when this happened. I remember NOW that it was on the TV in our house, but I didn’t know really what was happening, I was just told to root for “the blue team”. That confused my little 7 year old brain since they were both blue lol. But eventually I heard some “Go Duke”’s so I figured it out. The only thing about this game specifically that I do remember WAS the Hayward Heave as I call it. Even then I think I understood how big of a shot that would have been and how close it really was.

was at the game with my uncle. both die hard blue devils. about 20 rows up from the court, surrounded by not only Butler fans and students, but Butler faculty. soooooo glad we had aisle seats too lol. it was a very nerve wrecking game, and especially this period of it. I still cannot believe Nolan missed that bunny of a layup. and why is Singler fading on that practically uncontested jumper at the FT line......smh. I couldn't even celebrate right. I shook my head the entire time, wondering how we even got in the position to allow a half court heave to almost rob us on yet another national championship. I needed like 15 min to get myself together from the elements.

1 shot away from making everyone forget about NC State/Houston 1983! This Duke fan hated to have to root against the scrappy Butler team, who played a great game here. The 2010 bracket was so full of upsets, but Duke managed to be the only #1 seed not to choke and make it to the Final 4 and a 4th Championship.

I assume everyone is here cuz no March madness to watch

One of the best endings to a championship ever. If only it went in

What a game. Just wished Butler could have finished the comeback. That show would have gone down in history as the greatest of all time, though it probably would have lessened Coach K's Briliance or motivated his teams even more to be that much better.

Great game! Really enjoy watching Jon Scheyer playing

This is pure bball game with fundamentals.

imo this is the best championship game ever played
