How many IU fans on here are wanting to see Turdue win the National Title?  I’ve been wanting them to lose since the 1st round 

I'm rooting for UConn/NC State hard. Grew up on Bob Sr./Danny Hurley HS hoops... don't care for Purdue at all, especially this smug team. Personally I don't understand how IU fans living in Indiana among PU fans would be rooting for PU... like signing up to get a pie thrown in your face every season for the foreseeable future

Alright who is everyone rooting for to make it to the championship? 
 

I would love to see NC state make it, because their run has been insane. I really like Hurley as a coach and UConn is fun to watch.

anybody but Turdue

Exactly!  I could make the argument that any IU fan rooting for Turdue, isn’t a “True IU Fan”!  Lol! But I’m not going there, only kidding.   Maybe that’s who Woodson was actually referring to!  Ha, ha, ha!

I live among many.  I'll happily give them crap if they come up short.  But they've had so much disappointment I don't begrudge them some happiness either.  

 

I'm more interested in IU's success...or lack there of. After 25 years I've found rooting against other teams to lose doesn't stop somebody from winning. Watching Uconn blow past IU isn't any more comforting,  even though I respect what Hurley does. But no outcome makes IU better.  At least a Purdue win helps the rivalry and conference.

Called it earlier and doubling down: Bama goes wild tonight from 3 and then ice cold Monday to hand Purdue the title.

NC State tripping on their own feet and missing wide open dunks.

Add airballling wide open 3's to the list

Wide open air all three from NC State.  They simply aren’t very good

And Burns gets fatigued after 3-4 trips up and down the court. 

[RaceToTheTop 25,123]

No fouls on Purdue 13 minutes in

[Hoosier DaDa 2,232]

I wonder how much Painter pays the refs?

[theriverpilot 5,589]

Looked like good D by Burns there. 

[str8baller 5,098]

Turnovers and rebounds. Game is about over.   

 

I've enjoyed Braden Smith displaying his patented dribble off his own foot early, tho. Lol

UConn got totally screwed IMO. Wtf kind of call is that with 10 seconds left.

Choosing to believe their womens team lost so that their mens team could get it done, thus denying PUeww a title and maintaining the natural order of the universe

It was a foul that could have caused an open shot it was completely the right call. 

[RaceToTheTop 25,123]

How much are these announcers getting paid to offer the words of wisdom if ‘Purdue needs to keep getting the ball to Edey’?

NC State not helping itself so far. Silly early foul by Burns, O’Connell tripping over his own feet, missing wide open 3s
