I agree with you 100%!!! Under no circumstance can I root for Tenn or ND.
I would get the same level of satisfaction beating either one. That said, I also feel very uncomfortable looking ahead.
Today and all this week, my thoughts are focused solely on Indiana. My mindset is play whoever comes next. Looking ahead is a distraction. If it’s your year, it won’t make any difference who you play.
The road to the championship will go through 2 number one seeds. So it really doesn’t make any difference. If you have the heart and soul of a champion, your attitude is anyone, anywhere, anytime. If you are able to do so, no one will begrudge you, or suggest you didn’t deserve to win the championship.
To be perceived as “THE BEST”, you’ve got to play and defeat the best. So beat Indiana then prepare for whoever comes next. I know some folks like to look ahead. To me, that’s bad mojo.
