I’m not cheering for anybody from this point on. i cheered for uk and whoever was playing duck.
UK lost, duck lost—done cheering until next year.

I would be happy cheering for Auburn, i have never had anything against the school or their fans. But Bruce Pearl is a cheating scumbag who should be out of coaching. I cannot root for a cheater, especially when there are 3 other great guys coaching in this Final Four.

I think it would be pretty cool to see Texas Tech win this thing, although I dont like their style of play. Or maybe Izzo finally gets another ring and retires on top. I am cool with that too. Virginia got the monkey off their back just getting to the Final Four.

Dude you're probably getting this Final Four vacated. Would not be coming here gloating if I were you.

Auburn really has absolutely no shame when it comes to winning. Two of their best years in both major sports were significantly helped by cheaters or just by outright cheating (Pearl and Newton). Auburn fans don’t care about this at all and will always write it off as just the way things are and will claim that everyone does it. It is really pretty sad, but hey… anything to beat Alabama.

I can't stand Virginia and Kyle Guy. I hope Auburn crushes them.

I really like both Texas Tech and MSU. Would be cool to see Izzo get his 2nd.

I can’t stand (in no particular order) UL, Duke, UNC, IU, UT, and Auburn. Auburn has reeled in some of our posters like a fish.

Twist it how you want to fit your narrative but Wiley/Purifoy were recruited to Auburn Chuck Person was found guilty of steering them towards that agent and they weren't suspended just for ***** and giggles. Your own school self reported recruiting violations, extra Impermissible benefits on top of the agent based dealing.
Did I dispute they were suspended? Of course not. What Person did was clearly a violation. Both players were suspended by Auburn as soon as it came to light (unlike all the other schools) and then the NCAA reinstated them to play. Our situation is drastically different from the other schools because our players never played when their eligibility was in question and the underlying issue was drastically less severe given that there was no allegation they were paid to sign with Auburn. The allegations don't even compare to LSU, Zona, KU, Creighton, and Oregon who were all trying to buy recruits.

I'm correcting the part where you made it look like Person was just trying to get them to leave Auburn early when your own school admitted there was more to the story and self-reported violations in the recruiting process. Don't misconstrue my post. 'Buying' recruits are not the only way to improperly sway recruits to a school.

Fair enough. Our situation is drastically different from that of the other schools mentioned in the FBI investigation though. We never played anyone who's eligibility was in question (this year or last) and the NCAA cleared our guys to return. Its silly to claim we are going to have to vacate our final 4 appearance given that there is no evidence to suggest that is accurate.

You cannot tell me you're so deluded to believe that pearl is clean right? It's only a matter of time before he gets caught. You don't take a program like auburn, the perennial doormat of the SEC, and go to the final four in 4 years without something being up. But enjoy it while it lasts because UK will be around much longer and stronger than auburn's flash in the pan.

Normally, I cheer for the SEC and would be going for Auburn to win it all now. But, I have a real difficult time cheering for any team coached by Pearl. Can't understand the posters on here that have been saying they now want him as our next coach to replace Cal. Unbelievable. I love UK but it would almost gag me to see him on our sideline and bench at Rupp. I'd hate to have that scumbag at UK. Yep, I feel pretty strongly about that.
