Final Four consolation rooting

[NCMUFan]

Father in law, brother in law, boss all graduates of NC State and nephew a current student.  Keeping the peace.  Go NC State!

[TallTitan34]

UConn.

Get the Big East yet another natty.

[Nukem2]

UConn. Keep things in the BE family.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

UConn. Keep things in the BE family.

Damn straight!!!

[wadesworld]

Don't really care about the conference affiliation, but UCONN winning would win me $700 so I'll go with that.

If NC State hadn't beat us, I'd enjoy that team.

Prefer not Purdue, but they're not the worst.

Definitely not Nate Oates.  Would rather root for a coaching staff of Bob Huggins, Rick Pitino, Tom Izzo, Will Wade, and Bruce Pearl.

I’d also like to see the Purdue-UConn matchup in the finals to see what Hurley can come up with to contain Edey.

I’d also like to see the Purdue-UConn matchup in for finals to see what Hurley can come up with to contain Edey.

I'm going to go out on a limb and state that if it's a UConn Purdue match up it will be the most watched final game since MSU-ISU

[mug644]

Purdue (went to high school in Indy, followed Purdue then and almost went there)
UConn (go BEast, and I've come to appreciate Hurley)
NC State (is it consolation to have lost to the ultimate champ?...actually, that would be the case with Purdue and UConn too!)
Alabama (no, just no)

Going for Big East. More $$$ for programs

[wadesworld]

Going for Big East. More $$$ for programs

I believe that tournament credits stop after the Elite 8.

Going for Big East. More $$$ for programs

I’m rooting for a big East win for sure.  Conference status.    Ut I thought someone said after Elite 8 there are no more money units going to the conference.  So Big East has about $22 m coming.   

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

I believe that tournament credits stop after the Elite 8.

Yes.

I saw this on the UConn Boneyard.

1. UConn

Go Big East!

2. Anybody but Purdue

Keep the B1G streak alive!

3. Bama > NC State

It would be such a gut punch to watch NC State cut down the nets after our dreadful shooting performance.  It's already bad enough Marquette fumbled a golden chance at a Final Four.

[MDMU04]

Would like to see UConn win and would enjoy a matchup between them and Purdue.

No to NC State or Bama but I don’t think we will have to worry about either of them.

[tower912]

UConn.   But I really want to see Edey battle Clingan.

[BLWarrior91]

UCONN!

[Oldgym]

UConn.   But I really want to see Edey battle Clingan.

Must see TV. 

Riding w/UConn. Go Big East.

[real chili 83]

Boilers give me the best chance of winning money from my kids and wife.

[Uncle Rico]

A Purdue win will help Marquette’s cause

[Markusquette]

Screw Uconn and Purdue, but the matchup would be the most interesting for sure.

[GB Warrior]

Heat death of the universe.

But if I have to choose, I guess it's Uconn. Not like their fans are going to get more insufferable.

[Mu8891]

Don’t care at all …

It’s hard to watch after MU blew their best chance at a FF in 20 years

[MuggsyB]

Don’t care at all …

It's definitely upsetting and difficult to watch.   I will automatically root for UCONN and against Purdue but your point is well taken. 

[mu_hilltopper]

Nah, screw UConn.   The more success they have, the more dominant they will be forever.

First there was Nova, sucking up all the oxygen in the conference, now it's UConn.  Great, great.

[NCMUFan]

Yes, unfortunately it isn't MU who is sucking up all the oxygen when Nova Jay Wright left.
