Which one team do you not want to win the NCAA Championship?

[dogpause]

While I hate Syracuse for leaving the Big East, I would rather see them win than Kentucky. I like KY and I respect their fans, but I don't like Calipari and want to see his one-and-done philosphy again proven flawed.

 

[husky99]

puke or uk!

 

[TRest]

SU won't win. I want to see UK flameout and Cal go to the NBA.

 

[TopDog18]

Syracuse. Can't stand their obnoxious fans. And f*uck em for leaving the Big East.

 

[traitor71]

Kentucky, and it's not even close. In fact, I am currently praying for them to be the first number one seed to lose to a sixteen. That would be one thing I would be happy to see Cal "accomplish" that JC hasn't.

 

[djct1999]

i can care less about Kentucky and only about the squid himself. I hope he loses early and the ncaa vacates those wins as well!

 

[WillB4]

Kentucky. Cal leaves. Cheating scandal follows. APR investigation takes three years.

 

[UCweCONN]

Kentucky with Duke second. As someone else alluded to, I want Kentucky to lose and for Calipari to leave for the pros so we have a shot at some recruits again.

 

[huskyjawz]

Wow, that is a tough one. Seems we're all thinking the same thing. Right now, Cuse is on the top of my list with Kentucky, and Duke 3rd, but as soon as Duke wins a couple of games, they will quickly shoot to the top.

Kentucky with Duke second. As someone else alluded to, I want Kentucky to lose and for Calipari to leave for the pros so we have a shot at some recruits again.

Kentucky is the only team which I will actively root against.

As for the bolded part, both Drummond and Daniels were heavily recruited by UK...

 

[AfgHusky15]

Call me a die hard fan but the truth is any team but UCONN

 

[UCweCONN]

Kentucky is the only team which I will actively root against.

As for the bolded part, both Drummond and Daniels were heavily recruited by UK...

Drummond was always going to UCONN if he went to college and Daniels was down to Kansas before we stole him. I am referring to kids that have us an Kentucky in their final 2 or 3. When that happens, we always seem to lose out. Calipari sells the quick exit to the NBA to all the recruits whether that is realistic for them or not.

 

[campcalhoun2009]

1. Syracuse
2. Kentucky
3. Duke
4. Michigan St

 

[Walker11]

I definitely agree with your premise that it will be easier to recruit without Cal at the helm because their recruiting is simply unreal, I just think your example was weak.

The fact that Drummond always planned on going UCONN doesn't change the fact that Calipari trailed him across the country to see his AAU games, or made stops in rural CT to check him out at STM. Daniels was as much of a lock to KU as he was to Duke and UK at other times.

Enough sidetracking the thread, we both are on the same page. F UK (and Duke and Cuse to a lesser extent, just not too convinced either of them can win it, but UK seems too loaded not to make a very deep run)

 

[HuskyHawk]

Kentucky, Duke and Missouri. Syracuse wouldn't bother me at all.

 

[Poe]

Kentucky, Duke and Missouri. Syracuse wouldn't bother me at all.

Missouri???

 

[Jaker]

Cuse or KY

 

[SubbaBub]

The answer is always:
1. Duke
2. Whatever semi-pro team Squid is coaching.
3. UNC
4. then whatever Big East team has poked its head out of our wake.

 

[Adios]

If we don't win it, I'd rather have Mizzou win it all.

 

[NOTaDIME]

I agree with Missouri as well. I live in Nebraska and their fans are unbearable. That being said they are third on my list behind Duke and Kentucky at the very top. I would sell my soul to a Blue Devil before I'd watch them win a title under Cal.

 

[Cheddie]

Kentucky or Duke

 

[tzznandrew]

1. Kentucky
2. Kentucky
3. Kentucky
4. Kentucky.
5. Duke

I don't get the Syracuse hate. The did the exact same thing UConn would have done. I dislike Miami for the shenanigans, BC for the lies, VT bothers me less, Pitt for they're position in the BE in the before accepting the offer. West Virginia, not for leaving, but for forcing they're way out.

Syracuse didn't really have anything going against it--no conflicts interest, etc.

 

[EastCoast2]

I rooted for UConn hard over UK last year in the final 4... fun team to watch with Walker. For me it came down to rather seeing a BE team win it all than Zona, UK, or heaven forbid Butler.

 

[EastCoast2]

btw, I speak for every single cuse fan on the planet when I say I don't want UK to win.

 

[jorge34]

Kentucky or Duke

I will route for Cuse if Uconn is not....available
