I'm rooting for them, what the hell. I don't have a problem with Wright or anything they've done since the Lappas-Salmon-Thomas thing. I don't blame them for hiring Wright, they had a more competent AD. We're in totally different leagues and situations now. If they make the finals, I'm sure as hell not going to root for Carolina or Syracuse to beat them.

Of course, once they tip off, I have a reserve the right to change my mind. I said I was going to root for Seton Hall too (gasp!) but when the game started I couldn't help wanting them to lose.

I also like the Oklahoma coach and last time in Final Four was 22 years ago.

My rankings on who I root for in the Final 4:
1. Oklahoma
500. North Carolina (cheaters)
1000. Villanova (hated them from before I even went to Rutgers, when I rooted for Penn)
When hell freezes over: syracuse

If Rollie or Lappas was coaching them no way but I like Jay Wright better than any of the other guys with Lon Kruger a close second.

Not Nova, so tired of hearing about them and how wonderful they and their school is(live in SJersey-phila TV).
heard some obnoxious alum talking about the great Augustinian education that is second to none.- yea right.
Then the pervert professor appears.
Also, a few years ago they lied about their law school placement stats.

Nope. Oklahoma. Nova dicked us an hired Wright out from under us. F'em. Can't pull for an All Cheaters Conference school, especially the two flagship institutions. F'em.
I'll never forget that crummy move by JW AND Nova....

I am rooting for Nova, but am not emotionally invested in that game. I just don't want Cuse or the Tarheels to win the tourney, so I'm good with either Nova or OU winning the first game, then I will be emotionally invested in them beating Cuse/UNC.

Oklahoma has long represented everything bad about college sports to me but they do RU no harm. Nova does, so....Go Sooners!

No. Not a chance in hell. Oh and I hope that UNC and 'Cuse play are both put on immediate probation, at halftime of their game, and OU is declared National Champs there-and-then!

I am all in for Nova. Have always liked their game under Jay Wright and they had some very good teams before he got there. Unselfish and not many one and dones. Besides my daughter is a student there. Oklahoma will be just as difficult as Kansas so we will see.

I have an emotional and financial interest in saying NO to Nova. Need an Okie-UNCheat final to be in-the-money with my NCAA bracket. Can't stand them on their own anyway.

suprisingly enough I am rooting for Nova, a friend of mine went there and since we are no longer in the same conference or state I have no trouble rooting for them. I would never root for Cuse or SHU..something about those programs smells foul when it comes to me

I am..my wife went there so pulling for them

Also a guy who works for me went there as well as the global head of my business, who is flying out for the game(big booster) so again surrounded by Nova people

RU is the only school I root for in any sport. I don;t care about any other team but enjoy watching really good teams compete on the big stage.
