I hate KU, they make me root for teams like Duke...

I hate KU an Duke, they make root for teams like Illinois State

3 home games and a bunch of close wins. Still one of the luckiest teams in America.

Their luck is about to run out.

Seriously. Is Devontae Graham wearing lipstick?

What an evil game to have to pick a side Kansas vs Duke if Syracuse loses as expected. Sadly I have to root for Kansas in this situation.

[Kung Wu]

Duke never tried to eff over WSU. Rooting for Duke would be easy!

I hate this tournament lol

[Woodrow]

Villanova plays with grit and a lot of confidence. They will be hard to beat by anyone left in this tournament.

And they got a lot of help from the stripes tonight, West Virginia could not breath on them without a foul being called and they let them play on the other end. WVU Got screwed.

Easily the most consistent team in the country. I honestly love watching them play. Jay Wright is fun to watch coach, just really smooth. I just don't mind anything that team and program does at all. Go Nova.

Will be cheering for all the remaining Big 12 teams... Self and his team have done a remarkable job this year getting beyond what anyone thought possible in January. No matter how much you dislike Self you have to hand it to him for this year's effort.
K-State through the luck of draw is probably the only one of the three with a real chance to win their elite eight game. Weber at K-State for the remainder of his life if he wins tomorrow.

Lol... nah.

Y'all beat Penn, Seton Hall, and Clemson, two of those being under five point games. Real murderer's row to get to the elite eight.

[ShockerPrez]

Rooting for Duke feels like I'm in the old West with a bottle of whiskey getting drunk so the doc can remove a bullet out of my ass.

[ShockingButTrue]

I'm pulling for the Dookies all day in this one. I was a Gene Banks fan back in the day.

[pinstripers]

It appears that the officials know damn good and well what teams bring in a television audience. It ain't fixed, but it is influenced.

Bill Self has done an amazing job this year with so many built in disadvantages. I don’t think anyone thought he would be one game from living up to his seed and preseason ranking (#4) for the first time in 6 years, yet here we are.

[ShockdaWorld]

Built in disadvantages? You mean like recruiting kids of such high moral value that they may or may not play? You mean disadvantages like being buddies with the boosters that give those high moral kids cars to wreck? You mean disadvantages like a 35-2 free throw advantage? Yah, I agree. Must be tough.

[60Shock]

I have no reason, with the schools still in the hunt, not to pull for a MVC school which I do not recall having any gripes with.

Seem to recall the Shockers being Underdogs for decades, so I always pull for a deserving UnderDog.

Go, Loyola!
