Henry Rollins has been at it for decades — and “it” could be just about anything. Known predominantly from his first major act as the frontman of punk rock band Black Flag from 1981 through 1986, Rollins has since engaged in artistic outlets from radio hosting to stand-up comedy. Rollins’ show Monday at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater was part of a spoken-word tour highlighting his life as a musician, traveler, political junkie and generally curious citizen of the world.
Duke’s “Big Three” weren’t going to be denied the championship they so desperately craved. The Blue Devils held on to beat Butler 61-59 Monday night for their first national title since 2001, and once again, their three stars did most of the heavy lifting.
As Butler’s sophomore forward Gordon Hayward walked away from the scene behind him, Duke players diving on top of each other in a pile just feet from where he missed a last-second shot, he knew his team’s historic Final Four run was over.Of course, a 61-59 loss for his Bulldogs was not the way he’d wanted it to end. “I hate losing,” Hayward said. “It’s one of the worst feelings that I have — losing. When I look back on it, I think it’s going to motivate me.”
It was a season of magic, defiance, and continuous winning — dating all the way back to last December — that came to an end with a 61-59 loss to Duke at Monday night’s national championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium. And at one time, it almost seemed like a step-for-step reenactment of “Hoosiers” would take place for national championship.

The 2010 NCAA Tournament will be remembered for one thing: defying the odds. From the Butler Bulldogs’ magical run to Indianapolis to Northern Iowa finishing off overall No. 1 seed Kansas, it was the year that showed it can be done without agents, zillion-dollar facilities or endless budgets.
Two days removed from driving in 26 runs to avoid a Michigan sweep and open the Big Ten last weekend, the Hoosiers (13-13) look to keep the offense rolling in a 3 p.m. matchup at Sembower Field against in-state rival Ball State Cardinals (11-15).
