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.

Yup; definitely rooting for NC State.

Any team but the PUkes. I think the way the game is called in PUke games, the big guy at NC St will be in foul trouble early. I think UCONN is the only hope of beating the boilees ... what is even better, they would get so close and then lose in the championship game. If the PUkes win it all ... ??????

Obviously a huge NC State fan today, but I dropped some coin on the boils. If those turd biscuits are gonna win, I’m at least going to make bank on it. If they lose, won’t be the first bet I lost. 
win-win

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

Honestly I had no problem with the call, it was clearly an illegal screen. I know they say let the players decide the game in that kind of late play situation, but getting an open line to the basket bc of an illegal screen would screw Iowa over -

And UCONN got a second chance off CC’s missed FT but completely blew it by not blocking out on the FT. If UCONN had grabbed that FT they could have called their last TO and advanced the ball to Iowa’s side but they blew it - end of the day the “ball don’t lie”

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

Would love them to win but most likely the refs will have their big men on the bench within the first five minutes. Edey will shoot 20 fee throws

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

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.

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.
