Big East.

I am checked out. Waiting to see if we lose anyone. If we do, it creates an opportunity to improve the roster. Will be interesting few weeks.

I always root for big East teams

MuggsyB · « **Reply #5 on:** March 19, 2023, 09:46:59 PM »

I guess that makes sense .. maybe K.State because of Nowell.

For the Big East. And against the almighty Mini However Many.

Silent Verbal · « **Reply #7 on:** March 19, 2023, 09:48:21 PM »

I’ll be rooting for the Big East teams to win because it brings credibility and excitement to the conference. That said, I truly believe we’re better than X, UCONN, and Creighton, which makes the BE’s success very bittersweet.

Not sure if anyone else was in the same boat, but I couldn’t bring myself to watch any more basketball after the MU game tonight. Think I’ll be ready again by Thursday, though.

My wife is from Indiana, so I’m watching their annual implosion. I’ll root for the Big East, but maybe X a bit more.

I always want Big East to do well. But damn, Hurley is hard to be for.

CountryRoads · « **Reply #10 on:** March 19, 2023, 09:54:54 PM »

I think I’m pulling for Creighton. Mac winning a national championship would be pretty funny.

The other 2 big teams would be behind them but are 2nd and 3rd for me.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #11 on:** March 19, 2023, 09:55:22 PM »

I won't be able to sleep tonight. Any decent newly released ass kicking films? Like something in the ballpark of The Equalizer (Denzel) or Man on Fire (Denzel)?

What's a good Bronson flick? Ty.

NickelDimer · « **Reply #12 on:** March 19, 2023, 09:56:11 PM »

Tourney ended for me. For a while at least. Idc who wins anything.

wisblue · « **Reply #13 on:** March 19, 2023, 09:57:18 PM »

I will be rooting for the Big East teams, except that as an alum I have to root for Princeton against Creighton.

As the sting of today’s disappointment eases a little, the thrill of winning the conference will be sweetened by knowing that MU achieved the championships by going 6-2 against conference teams that went to the Sweet 16 (and possibly further).

GB Warrior · « **Reply #14 on:** March 19, 2023, 09:57:55 PM »

Yep, don't think I'll be able to find joy in the rest of the tourney. At least not til FF, participants pending

Daniel · « **Reply #16 on:** March 19, 2023, 10:03:56 PM »

Yeah tourney has lost its luster for me now. I will root for big East teams but really not much left.

I hope we keep all of our players but we know we are losing at least one. Will be obvious soon. Hope the rest stay

Warriors4ever · « **Reply #17 on:** March 19, 2023, 10:06:29 PM »

I root for the Big East - if I have to pick from them, X and and Creighton would be ahead of UConn. I also root for Gonzaga as a fellow Jesuit school.
I root against the Big Ten, the SEC and the Big 12, because I hate what the football leagues have been doing to college sports. I have generally rooted against the ACC but that factor has kind of diminished lately.

94Warrior · « **Reply #18 on:** March 19, 2023, 10:08:46 PM »

I’ll pull for Creighton and whomever is Becky’s next opponent.

Don’t care for Miller or Hurley.

Rooting for all the Big East Squads. Would love to see Creighton or X in particular win the whole thing.

Houston because I have a Title slip that I placed in September.

I guess that makes sense .. maybe K.State because of Nowell.

Nowell has to be the most exciting player in the Sweet Sixteen. Behind the back passes, through the legs passes, no-look passes…he put on a show against Kentucky. The MSU-KSU game will be a good one.

Skip the film. Go with the original Edward Woodward TV series.

Big East teams especially Xavier, because my daughter attends there and UConn because they're my home-state team.

Ardmore Mug · « **Reply #29 on:** March 20, 2023, 05:17:51 PM »

I agree, cheer for the BE teams!!! That said, Im sorry, but I can't cheer for UConn and Hurley ! ! !

Judge Smails · « **Reply #30 on:** March 20, 2023, 06:30:05 PM »

Agree on cheering for the BE teams, but I’m going to root for Princeton Thursday night. I doubt they can take down Creighton, but I love a good underdog story. And one of the Tigers’ players is from my town.

Same here, but I even dislike Xavier's coach more than Hurley.

Uncle Rico · « **Reply #32 on:** March 20, 2023, 06:38:19 PM »

I’ll be cheering for all teams to play hard and have fun. Being a student athlete carries great responsibility.

Imagine knowing how you play will cause great joy or great sorrow amongst Joe Beer Guts watching on their couches as they eat pretzels while drinking beverages that are slowly killing them. Couple this knowledge while knowing you’re being critiqued by these same know-it-alls on profane message boards and toxic social media sites.

Good luck, young men and represent your teammates and alma mater the best you can

Solutions?

SDSU?
FAU?
Princeton?

Are people anti Aztecs? I think SDSU could take out Bama.

SDSU wins the all strength team.. dutcher is a good coach. They will compete against Bama.
