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

[990411champs]

1. Kentucky
1.5 Duke
2. Syrexcuse

 

[JCSuperstar]

Syracuse and it's not close. I will break out the Johnny Walker Blue for K if he is the one to knock them out and I won't even feel a little bit bad doing it.

F Cuse.

I don't hate UK. I dislike Cal. As soon as he leaves, I don't care anymore.

Since 1999, they've been to 1 Final Four. They have a rabid fanbase and great tradition, but they weren't a great force.

Since Cal's got there, they get all the recruits. Nobody beats them for someone they really want.

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.

I used to root for Cuse, until I found out about the abused ball boys.

i used to root for them until they destroyed the conference.

They didn't destroy the conference. Blame Pitt if you want. Blame WVU--they were the best football team, and they forced themselves out quickly. And UConn would have, and should have, left if they could.

 

[cohenzone]

Alcorn State.

tru dat, Cuse football is laughable, not sure the ACC really knows what they are getting

 

[Tenspro2002]

I thought the question was which one team, cheaters. The answer, of course, is Duke.

If I had to round out a top 5, like so many of you are doing, it is:

2. UK
3. UNC
4. Michigan State (still bitter about that Final Four home game they got 3 years ago)
5. Syracuse - because they're traitors to the Big East; under other circumstances I'd be rooting for them

wvu left after pitt and cuse already left, and conference was already ruined. wvu is also not a founding member of the conference. how is cuse any different than pitt?

 

[UConn4ever]

Kentucky and its not even close.

 

[huskyniner]

Kentucky.

Conflict of interest for Pitt. They were in charge of the contract that they rejected, among other things.

Syracuse just did what we all wish we did.

As for West Virginia. I don't have a problem with their leaving. I was happy for them. But then they refused to follow the contract they signed and sued their way out 2 years early.

The Dook love in this thread is making me sick. Just watch the Dook-UNC game tonight and you'll be reminded by how much you hate Dook. I hate Cal as much as the next guy, but Dook has the whole enchelada of *kery. A cocky coaches son, a cocky NBA players brother, three really annoying Plumlee's, the ugliest player in college basketball (Kelley), and the coach who most resembles a rat.

The worst part is definitely the fans. They aren't even huge basketball fans, they're Dook fans first and foremost. The emotion you hear at games is more school spirit than a love of the game. I don't like Kentucky fans either, but they are less pri*key in other walks of life, and you know they would run through a *king wall to win a championship. And their players aren't nearly as unlikeable.

 

[mauconnfan]

Kentucky or Duke

YES

 

[joober jones]

Duke is always the team I most hate to see winning a championship. I'd rather spend a week changing old people's Depends without a second's rest than watch Duke win another NC

 

[tzznandrew]

UK v. Duke: Go Duke.

At least I respect Coach K...

Plus, K is already considered one of the greats. I don't want Calipari ever being considered as such.

 

[PolisHusky]

I did not know there was another choice....Kentucky by far. Syracuse does not bother me, they may be our biggest rival and I hate when they beat us, but I still have some respect for them. The squid is despicable, runs a program immorally and dishonorably, and then gets away unscathed. I was so happy when Bob Knight called him out when he took the job at UK. Success at that cost is never worth it. We have had our share of problems at UConn, but it pales in comparison to what Calapari has done everywhere he has gone. After that, I would hate to see Ohio State, Puke, or Florida (not that they have much of a chance) win it all.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

For me it's Syracuse and it's not even close.

Then Duke, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan State and West Virginia.

 

[JellyBean]

As much as I hate Duke, my first choice would be them. But I can not stand Coach Calipari and I would rather see Duke and coach K holding the NCAA title than coach Calipari. He just bugs me for some reason.

Still talking about that, huh?

1. Kentucky
I don't get the Syracuse hate.

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

Go read their board sometime and maybe you might get a better understanding where all the hate comes from.
