Five white players could be on the court at tipoff. That’s the most since 1998, when six white players started in the Utah-Kentucky final.
Gordon Hayward and Matt Howard – two of Butler’s top players – are white. So are five of Duke’s top seven players.
Even though the race issue isn’t discussed in polite company, it’s been the subject of hushed conversations at the Final Four and will be obvious to anyone in attendance or tuning in at home. The subject is so taboo that even Larry Bird bristles when it’s brought up.
The Blue Devils, who have been described as “alarmingly unathletic,” powered past West Virginia by 21 points in Saturday’s national semifinal.
