Who are you rooting for, Sweet 16 version
« on: March 20, 2017, 07:51:41 AM »
Big East, obviously.    They are as close to Cinderellas as anyone else left.  After that, it is a whole bunch of teams I don't like.    I ordinarily loathe Michigan.    However, this team, after surviving a near-death experience, has been very fun to watch.    As unclean as it makes me feel, I find myself admiring them.     I have developed a healthy dislike of Cock over the last few days.  I always hate Bucky.  Impossible to root for Kentucky or UNC.   Alford is an ass.     So........ man.    Go Big East.    And Huggy?   (shudder)

I admire Huggy for who he is.  There really isn't much bullsh*t about him, and in this age of coach-speak, he can be refreshingly blunt.  This came out a few weeks ago...

Butler and Purdue. Picked them to the Final Four, so gotta back my picks. Xavier, even though I picked Arizona I'm still supporting the Big East. And Florida, for obvious reasons.

Butler and Xavier.

And Florida on Friday.  And Baylor.  Bucky must die.

Gotta root for South Carolina.

The farther they go, the less of a "bad beat" our loss was. 

Plus in the the next round, they are playing that squeaky-clean program, Baylor.
Have some patience, FFS.

I'm not pulling for Baylor because I like Baylor, I'm pulling for them to block Bucky if she gets past Florida.

After beating ND the reporter asked how he planned to celebrate.  Looking somewhat peeved, he said "I'll probably do some recruiting."  She chuckled.  He didn't.

Florida and Baylor (obvious reasons are obvious), Gonzaga (for my bracket), and Big East teams ($$$).

Butler and X.  Otherwise all bets are off.  Bust my bracket, give me boring games, give me bad officiating...as long as somebody beats UW and erases this queasy feeling I have.

Florida, South Carolina, WVU, Xavier, Kansas, Oregon, Butler, Kentucky

Would be in a good position to win a lot of $ with those outcomes, plus aside from UK over UCLA, it would align with my rooting interests in general

BEast and Michigan mainly. Would like to see SC make the final four just because I have a strong dislike for the 3 other teams in that region. Like Purdue too.

Feel like Big East needs to get one into the elite eight for at least a semi-respectable showing from the conference.

True, not as much respect as we should. Was really hoping Nova could repeat and make a statement. Really hoping Butler or X can make it past next weekend.

Purdue, Butler, X, South Carolina.

Truth be told, I actually really like watching South Carolina play. Beating Duke never hurts that, but the way they've played in the tournament sorta reminds me of some of the Buzz era Marquette teams, the 2010-2011 team in particular. Not sure why.
