Tennessee fans for a day?

[Steve UConn72]

I know this is either heresy or blasphemy, but can we be Tennessee fans for about two hours today?

 

[VivaLsVgs]

Why? You want a rematch that badly?

 

[Centerstream]

Never.
Edit: I would favor the Lady Vols WBB team only if they were playing the Golden Domers.

 

[BRS24]

Nope.

 

[my2cents]

I hope they lose by 40.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

I can't imagine such a commitment short of saving the life of a family member. That's a NO.

Rematches tend to favor the loser, if they have a chance of winning. Losing provides more motivation than winning for the rematch, plus more learning and adjustments occur with the loser.

I don’t think TN would win, but they are capable of winning. VT meanwhile has no additional motivation or prior learning experience turned into adjustments.

I would rather play VT regardless of my feelings for TN.

I think either team could give us a challenge, should we beat Ohio State. But I’ll be rooting for Tech, ‘cause my grandson graduated from there. Plus… I do hate Tennessee.

Not necessarily, but we have had Tennessee's number lately, they are a 4 seed (vs. VaTech at #1) and I'd prefer an (allegedly) easier road to Seattle.

I'm from VA and one of my brothers and my sister and her husband are grads, so I usually favor Old Dominion schools, all things being equal. UConn can beat either team, and handily, if Azzi has fully regained her touch.

 

[hoopsfan22]

No thanks.

 

[Hist-teacher]

Maybe, only if they were playing Notre Dame but not today. Nope!

 

[Blueballer]

Not a chance. ALWAYS root against them.

 

[Zanzman]

Usually root for the lower seed but uhhhhh………no

 

[JellyBean]

 

[Steve UConn72]

Seems to be unanimous! At least I got one like. Or maybe Magy was just agreeing that it was heresy/blasphemy. Either way, Go Huskies!

 

[ScottCT]

Nope. I don't mind us going against VA Tech they don't strike any kind of fear in me.

 

[JeannoCT]

That’s a no for me.

 

[Argonaut]

 

[Bone Dog]

I like Kelly Harper and I’ve always admired Jordan Horston from her time on the FIBA teams in high school. What’s wrong with Tennessee is not them, it’s the WBB team’s place in the administrative ecosystem at rocky top. I don’t mind seeing them succeed.

My feelings about ND are distinctly different.

Why? What did Virginia tech do to you?

 

[Bayareahusky]

They dominated vs a 12 and a 13 now lets see how they do today

 

[bballnut90]

If I'm a UCONN fan, Tennessee strikes more fear into me than Virginia Tech. They've played solid basketball since the UCONN loss and have better playmakers.

 

[Hayven]

I would rather wear Kim Mulkey’s jacket from yesterday, than root for Tennessee
