Sweet 16 rooting interest

Rooting for the teams that would create the hardest path for Duke: Zona > Bama > Houston > Auburn/UF. As long as Duke doesn’t win I don’t care who does.

If I’m being greedy, I want the BIG10s dry streak to last another 25 years. And it would be nice if a BIG12 team didn’t win either (still hoping for an invite). So I guess that leaves the SEC….

Houston strikes me as the least objectionable. Florida would be fine, whatever. Purdue I'd be good with, but they're not going to win. Bama, eh, sure.

Definitely not Duke, Auburn.
 
I feel like the cartel is really SEC/Big Ten. Big 12 is barely hanging on, so I'd rather see them win it. Funny to see Big Ten still not be able to win it after they've rigged the tournament in their favor.

I'd rather they all bomb to push Yormark to come grab us. AZ & BYU should lose. Houston will win, TT should win but who knows with Cal/Ark.

The B12 has zero shot to compete with the SEC/B10 in football, Yormark will realize that soon. If he wants to get creative to differentiate, he'll have to put more energy into hoops & geography.
 
As much as I hate Dook, add Tennessee to that list, my cousin in Wethersfield, one of the only UT grads in Connecticut (Pennsylvania carpetbagger) has such hate for UConn (it's banner envy) that I hope Kensucky puts him in deep misery this weekend!
 
I put $15 on Michigan State to win it all, so that's what I'm rooting for.

Aside from that in reverse order
16. Duke.
15. Kentucky
14. Alabama
13. Auburn
12. Arkansas
11. Florida.
The rest are more or less tied. Fine to see Houston or Purdue finally get one. Arizona after a long drought.
 
I guess I'll go for Purdue. If they can win without Edy then they need to lock down their coach forever.

I feel of all the teams in S16, they’d be the last team I expect to win.

I actually didn't know they were in the S16. Since they are, I'd like to see if he could do it. We were in the similar situation going in.

I started this tournament liking Florida, and especially if they took the crown, I plan on rooting for them the rest of the way. I've never hated Florida (other than 2014 and 1994).

I would keep Arkansas, Duke, Auburn and Michigan State as far away from the title as possible, if I had my druthers.

I'd say in order for me it's probably Florida, Houston, Tennessee.
 
I hope they cancel the tournament but if not give me Ole Miss > Houston > Tech > Maryland > BYU >Tennessee
