Author Topic: Who do we root for... Louisville at Uconn (Read 3282 times)

I'm fairly certain we should be rooting for Uconn since we already beat them. That being said, it'd be nice having Louisville still be #1 when we head to the Yum center.

Thoughts? I'm still leaning towards Uconn.

Forgot to add, having Louisville lose leaves just MU and Syracuse undefeated in the Big East. Great pub for as long as we can make it last.

We want Uconn, UL sucks.

You're right, this is tough

On the one hand ...

* It is always a good day with Slick Rick and Loserville blow a game
* Uconn win helps out SoS
* Loserville loss means we are only tied with Syracuse

On the other hand ...

* I would prefer Loserville to be #1 when we play them.
* I also have a hard time rooting for Uconn

As much as I try, I cannot decide on this one.

I say UConn. They can win out and it just serves to give us a better seed in two tournaments they're banned from playing in.

UCONN helps our RPI since we beat them and give MU one in loss column as MU only plays UL once--and that is at the YUM!

Gotta root against L'Ville if we want a shot at the conference championship!

Again, I don't understand why this is always so hard for people to figure out. You root for whatever helps MU more. They have already beaten UCONN, who cares about what kind of RPI/SOS effect it would have, MU wins enough games, that will work itself out anyway(so that's not the reason to root for them). UL stands in the way of a possible conference title, giving them a loss while MU has none, only helps MU in further obtaining that goal. You root for UCONN, easily.

In Big East games I always root against Louisville.

LVille is quick! We're going to need an oxygen tank for DG.

I think we root for the game to be called due to condensation on the court.

I will root against Louisville and Syracuse every game. I think this league will be won with 13 or 14 wins. We could be that team.

+1

We are going out with a bang this year. Last champions of the best basketball conference of all time.

I'm glad Louisville won. It'll be great when MU plays in Louisville, both undefeated in conference, and MU takes out the #1 team. It would also mark the 3rd straight season MU has played the #1 team in the country.

Haha, im not gonna be pessimistic, but there is a very very little chance of MU winning @UL
