March madness round two Sunday

Peterson has to take over you get fouled you gotta stay down on the ground and take your time getting up pace yourself and drive Pitino crazy.

Peterson isn't able to take over being guarded by Mitchell. He's a freshman and MItchell has NBA All-star athleticism.
 
I usually don’t root for KU and I want both teams to lose but I’ve grown to hate St John’s

There's bitterness because they have owned us 4 out of the 5 meetings and taken the BE regular season and tourney the last 2 years.

Everyone here would be rooting for St John's if they lost to us the last 2 years.

Yea no.

Chilling on the bench with 3 fouls in the first half.

St John’s winning or losing this game has no consequence on the current or future success of UConn basketball. Lmfao. 2 million split 11 ways is how much? Give me a break.

They could win 2 or 3 more if they don't lose this one. $500k can certainly matter.
 
I am also a hater, I despise how St. John’s plays, it’s horrendous. I just want them to get out of the way.

But Kansas is somehow worse. Basically have to use Peterson as their only offense.

Which would still not impact the current or future success of UConn basketball.

That’d pay for a bench player

This is a stretch. Our coach’s salary is nearly 20x that. More importantly, wouldn’t you want the team that’s the worst matchup for us knocked out of our region?

It’s nonsense to even play the revenue card. That was a reach lmao

Wait, you realize we could play against the winner of this game? And it’s literally affecting us this year as opposed to hypothetical money going to our athletic dept?

Yup because that’s totally the same thing. We know you root for all BE teams. That doesn’t make you a “better fan”. I root for one team. Every other game I root for who I like more. I can’t stand Pitino and don’t like SJ. They’re also a way worse matchup for us. I rooted against Louisville in 2014 as well.

Not rooting for St John's to play us I get but not rooting for them to go to the sweet 16 is crazy. It's clearly they have beaten us, if Nova were playing right now everyone would be rooting for them.

We did beat them by 32.
 
About 20% of this board is so invested in the failure of the Big East that they would rather the Big East fail than UConn succeed.

To answer the question: Roughly $180,000.

A UConn St. John's matchup in the elite 8 would be awesome for UConn and the Big East.

Well I’m rooting for whoever wins this game to beat Duke. So a St John’s V Duke game would not be fun.

A team I hate who killed us last week and could kill us next week is a team I’m rooting against. Weird concept, I guess.

No everyone was hoping we’d see Louisville in the 2014 final 4. It’s so dishonest lol

So would UConn KU or UConn Duke. I just don’t care enough about revenue to the school to root for a team I hate, it’s not complicated. You disagree, that’s cool, I have no issue I just don’t get how anyone has an issue with our stance of rooting against a hated rival. I hate Pitino.
