Maybe SJU because Pitino winning another title would be a dagger in the heart of UL fans.

Or, I could go with Houston, Purdue or Michigan because of the grief any of them would cause for the IU fans.

Perhaps Nebraska because they would have gone from never winning a game at all to winning the whole thing?

Am I missing anything?

If Indiana wins the championship in football AND Nebraska wins the championship in basketball that has to mean the end of the world.

St. John's, because it would also mean UConn and Duke didn't make the Final Four.

Kill two scumbag birds with one stone.

St John’s for me. No strategy. They just likable players and play good solid fundamental basketball. Florida winning another title is gonna push Golden out of reach after we fire pope.

I root for the favorites as long as Duke is still alive. So, pulling for SJU in their region and then also MSU and UConn (yuck!) for now. Pulling for Florida and Arizona in the other regions for now as well as both of those are capable of beating Duke if it comes to it.

Ill pull for Houston, Nebraska and Iowa State. I love to watched well coached teams that will get after your ***. I know ISU sent us home, but I don't hold it against them, I admire a team that loses their best guy and flat out takes it to you on the defensive end to win

This is crazy, but I had UK losing to Santa Clara in my bracket.

I actually thought we've been so inconsistent, that was the reason I thought we'd get upset.

Just be thankful we somehow won that first round game unlike previous years where st peters and oakland had their way with us.

Id prefer a nobody to win it. Then probably Houston, then probably Michigan or Arizona. After that id be fine with Pitino winning it. After that, a part of me would be find eith Cal winning it.

But really, as long as Duke and Kansas dont win it, followed by Tenessee, Uconn and Florida.. then I really dont care.

St. John’s no matter. Just get Tennessee and Duke annd anrkansas out of this tournament and we’re good. Someone will contain Acuff and Calipari will take care of the rest so they won’t make it anyway.

Yeah I've been cheering hard for Saint John's to come out of that bracket. I wouldn't be mad at Michigan State but everybody else in it I'd hate. And then I'd be cool with Arizona, Purdue, Houston, even Iowa St if they could pull it off.

Why do we give a shvt who wins? We stunk the place up so it should not matter to us. I don't understand the petty crap against other teams when we suck so bad. I think we would root for our conference since oit would make us look better the better the SEC looks.
