It’s a conundrum. I’ve rooted for UConn (and X and Creighton) and I pull for the conference, but I certainly have mixed feelings on tonight.
As I root for UConn I also think of the insufferable fans becoming more insufferable. As we compete as programs it’s another title in the count, and would now own the reigning title as well. San Diego State is a great underdog. Would you be pulling for Nova tonight if we were playing San Diego State?
In the end I’m still pulling for UConn and the Big East tonight, but with some mixed feelings. Win or lose, UConn as a program has already achieved Blue Blood status.
I get the mixed feelings. Had them last year with Nova in the FF. Glad they made it, but can't say I'm not glad they didn't win their 4th and tie us. Unfortunately KU was there too going for their 4th which made it a "pick your poison" situation for many UConn fans.
In the end we all want to be playing in a strong conference. That's the upside to conference foes' postseason success.
