Who are we rooting for tonight

[Chosen]

Are you rooting for Villanova or Creighton tonight in the championship game tonight?

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Nova easily.

 

[NotADime89]

Creighton I can’t stand to see that smug punk Gillespie raise that trophy

 

[8893]

Both teams are worthy BET champs imo and I won’t mind either result, but I’m rooting for Creighton because they’ve never won it.

 

[8893]

Nova favored by 7 seems a bit high to me.

Agree, I’m rooting for nova because losing in the semis to the eventual Big East champion by three points is better for Connecticut.

I don’t understand all the advanced metrics, but wouldn’t a Creighton win also help us with respect to our two losses to them?

How is he a snug punk?

 

[superjohn]

I like both programs and both coaches but would like to see Creighton win it. This is their fourth Big East title game and it feels like it's time for a new winner.

 

[BugsyCT]

Don't really care much who wins, just want to see a good game. PC really crapped the bed yesterday in what should have been a much better game.

 

[Hi-Low]

Nova could be in mix for 2 seed with a win, but also good for BE to challenge Nova's recent BE dominance. Ok with either one.

 

[UofCT]

Creighton +7

 

[CL82]

Somewhat, I guess, but I think recency bias and narrative matters more. Just a guess on my part though.

 

[ucp990411]

Don't care

 

[ClifSpliffy]

crayon. after all that nonsense last year aboot their coach and how he should be banished to alpha centuri, plus his 'coach of the year' performance with a new squad, putting the lie to all the nonsense around 'building a program' that brain damages hoya and johnnie fans, plus the 'they have not won it' yet stuff, it would be nice for them to win.
i don't hate any team, including nova.
it would be cool to face both nova and crayon in the tourney as i believe we will beat either next time up. they are both extraordinarily cohesive teams, and present a real problem for any team that plays them.

meh we had a new winner last year

 

[Kolumbo]

neither. I will say though that I've learned Cretin seems to be a very worthy Big East program, didn't know much about it until I knew we were joining the NBE. Great school and location. checking out their message boards, their fans appear to be passionate and complete d-bags. the new orange perhaps.

 

[Scoe]

I will root for the team that wins tonight.

He’s not that bad. Better than O’Connell and Hawkins.

 

[Shamon30]

Creighton I can’t stand to see that smug punk Gillespie raise that trophy

+1000

 

[BugsyCT]

I think Louisville and WVU were the only schools to win the BET that weren't BE members in the 1980s.

I like the rooting for the old guard, but it wouldn't be bad for the conference if Creighton won. Balance is good.

 

[storrsroars]

Nova favored by 7 seems a bit high to me.

Creighton beat Nova by 20 at home, lost by 34 at Nova. So you take the difference and divide it by 2 to account for a neutral court

 

[freshler40]

Creighton. We never beat them this year, it would make us look better???? They also have a lot of future promise on that team, are well coached but young. Too bad they aren't really in the East. They sure put a big hurt on our neighbor and us.

 

[UconnFanDC]

I am sure at this point our seeding is most likely set regardless who wins the BET

 

[ecasadoSBU]

Im here. Quietly as neutral observer from the nosebleeds. I refuse to root for either side.

Gotta say its a Jammed packed environment with a 15 min lije just to get in.

Can both of them lose?
