Who Do You Want to Win It All?

[BlueandOG]

I wish they could all lose, but barring that, what's Plan B?

 

[TheHorde]

I’m on to 2025-2026

 

[Fishy]

I'm fine with another pandemic canceling the rest of the Tournament

 

[Durks07]

 

[UC0NN]

This Duke team has 3 good losses. 2 of them at the beginning of the year.

So they could be 36-1 with 4 tournament blowouts, and they could be talking about an all time great team.

Of course this is what happens when you land 5 of the top 17 high school kids in the country.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

I. None of the above

 

[Zanzman]

UConn

 

[shizzle787]

Not Duke or Michigan State. If Florida won at least we would be able to say we lost to the national champs.

 

[GlastonTim]

I don’t want Auburn to win their games by double digits. They’re the only team left with only all double digit wins.

 

[Hunt for 7]

I just can’t believe Dook got 5.3% of the vote on this board.

Those who voted for Dook should be publicly shamed IMO.

That quickly went to 2.4% way to go BY.

I feel much better but we should still do the public shaming thing!

Up to 2.9% completely vomit worthy…….

Duke doesn't have 4 tournament blowouts. They beat Zona by 7 points and gave up 93 points to them.

 

[UCTitleTown]

A school who has never won, not won in a long time, is not a d bag program, and not named Duke.

 

[Mazhude]

Agreed. Florida wins, and the narrative is, we lost to the eventual national champions by 2... maybe gave them the toughest game of their run.

 

[UC0NN]

That game was a blowout early in the 2nd half. End score was cosmetic.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

I was in on TTU before they lost yesterday. I'm on Houston's wagon now but I wouldn't mind Florida

FL wins yes it makes our season a bit better sure.

 

[shizzle787]

Michigan State, Tennessee, and Florida won't beat Duke. Need Auburn and Houston to win today.

 

[4in16]

Houston is the only answer

 

[huskyjawz]

Houston 1st, Florida 2nd, Tenn. 3rd

The game was a blowout early in the 2nd half and I thought Duke would win, but the end score was not cosmetic. Arizona had cut the lead to 6 points with 2:42 remaining and again to 5 points with 1:56 remaining. The game was in doubt generally speaking, even though in my mind I was sure Duke was winning. Duke fans were not feeling great at that moment.

When UConn defeated Duke in 2004, they were down 8 with 3 minutes left.

 

[JCisthegoat]

Houston but would be okay with Florida

 

[JCisthegoat]

Duke got 3 votes?

 

[NowInStorrs]

I wouldn't mind if we were the closest anybody played Florida during the tournament

 

[BugsyCT]

Houston's running away with the voting.

I wouldn't mind them - actually good to see them back in recent years after their long hiatus from the national spotlight since the Phi Slamma Jamma days. Kelvin Sampson's done a great job there. If I had to pick one, it would be them.

 

[Apollo]

Going with TN but would be ok with Houston too. Would help the debate for a HOF induction for either coach, both with respectable careers/ programs.
After that, anyone but Duke.
