We've been bashing Cuse for their lack of runs--but two straight E8 runs is really solid.

I'll pull for Marquette, Michigan, FGC, Michigan State, Witchita State. I won't be terribly upset if any of those teams win. Louisville ties us for titles if they win, and definitively moves past us historically.

You could say that about Michigan State, too. Plus being tied with Kansas right now is kind of cool company. That's the trouble with paying attention to the history scoreboard - there are so few teams that it feels like it is OK for them to win. Marquette and Michigan seem like the best options, and I don't think either have a great chance. Maybe Ohio State is ok, even though they won back in the early 60's.

Honestly, I forgot MSU had two titles. So, yeah, I guess they aren't a team to pull.

That said...I don't think we go for the same recruits at the moment, and I think Izzo is up there with K and Pitino as the best coaches currently doing their job, so I wouldn't be offended if he won.

This is going to go over poorly, but I wouldn't cry myself to sleep if Duke won. They are already ahead of us in titles, K isn't a sleaze, and they don't have an overly obnoxious punchable player a la Reddick/Paulus/WoJo/Langdon/Battier/etc.

I know people love him around here, but I've always rooted against Izzo. I always thought of him in direct competition with Calhoun in terms of postseason accomplishments, especially before we won that last title. Stupid reason, probably.

Also, as mentioned elsewhere, it makes the list of teams I'm OK with winning really short. Michigan would be fine with me.
