Of the Final Four, who do you want to see win it all?

[TC4THREE]

With Purdue out, I've just been cheering against other teams that I don't like for the most part. With IU and ND getting knocked out, I'm now out of teams to cheer against. I was kind of pulling for Virginia some but they are no more.

Looking at what's left:

UNC - I appreciate their work this past weekend as I didn't want to see IU or ND get to Houston but now that they have served their purpose I'd just as soon they lost. I'm tired of the ACC hype and I honestly don't think they've ever been punished appropriately for the whole thing where their athletes weren't taking real classes.

Syracuse - See the comments above about the ACC hype and how they didn't get in any real trouble for their dirty program. Watching Virginia lose to them last night was maybe the 2nd worst loss of the tournament to me.

Oklahoma - Generally not a huge fan but I can respect Buddy Hield.

Villanova - Might be the team I cheer for by default. Have nothing against them and I wouldn't mind Jay Wright winning a national title after 15 seasons at Villanova where they have done very well but largely disappointed in the tournament.

Oklahoma. Like Buddy and his attitude and gratefulness for what he has. Of the 4 left it really isn't close for me. Don't really have any feelings for Villanova, just kind of Blah for me. No way am I cheering for UNC or Syracuse, wish they both could lose.

 

[pu1985]

Either Nova or OK.
I don't want to see blatant cheating rewarded - aka UNC and Syracuse. And Boeheim is a complete tool.

 

[Boiler Buck]

W/ Purdue out.....nothing to root for, except the way the pundits said Syracuse should not even make the tourney....entertaining that they are even in the FF, even more so if they go farther.

 

[B-Westy]

I'm rooting for Matt Painter to be fired.... screw that guy!!!

But Nova or OU.... Don't care which. Be gone cheaters. Be gone.

 

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

Oklahoma and Buddy Heild. Class act and probably should be the NPOY. He is going to make a hell of a top level player in the NBA very soon. Hopefully the Celtics can get him at #4 because I think he would fit great in that system that already has a very good PG and some other good role type players...they just need that top flight scorer and they could become very good.

Cuse will beat UNC - zone over bad shooting team
Nova will beat OU - revenge game
Nova over Cuse in the championship

I believe that 'Cuse, Oklahoma, and UNC are dirty and all have been for awhile. So, I've got to go with 'Nova and the best dressed coach in the FF.

 

[Cleanface]

Villanova, by far.

 

[FirstDownB]

North Carolina. Just to piss off Duke fans and Kryzezewski.

But hopefully anyone but Oklahoma. The other 3 already have more/more recent national titles than Purdue.

UNC. I was a fan of theirs before my freshman year at Purdue. Sure, I give them #$%! for the cheating scandal (and they deserve it - it may have been an "academic" scandal, but it surely, greatly aided their athletics), but they did knock off IU and Notre Dame. Boeheim has become an arrogant jerk in his old age (maybe he always was, I don't know), so I can't pull for 'Cuse. I guess it would be OK if Nova or OU won. So... as long as Syracuse doesn't win, I'm good.

No matter what, all is right in the Universe - Notre Dame is out. IU fans can't gloat about another "banner". ...and the University of California at Eugene didn't quite get enough coin out of Nike for a Final Four (so close... and so sad ).

 

[Dakota Girl]

Zero respect for NC.

 

[Schnelk]

Syracuse and Carolina are cheaters. Oklahoma? Still hate Lon Kruger from his time at Florida. Villanova by default.

I'm still pissed about the screw job we got against Villanova 3 years ago at MSG.

 

[Schnelk]

Rustcr, I was thinking that as I posted but decided it was more a Bo Borowski job than anything. Wasn't that the ref?

Haha. I don't remember. Of course, we also got a screw job against Oklahoma and Blake Griffin.

Another lowlight stuck in my head...
