Have to root for OU, then Nova in that order.
I have no problem rooting for Lon Kruger and Buddy Hield now that KU is no longer playing.
Ironic that OU and the tarred ones are my only 2 picks that actually made the FF.
Even more ironic that one of the two cheatingest programs of modern times is guaranteed a berth in the NC.
Seeing those two teams in and Bill and KU not in really hurts all over again.
The one time I really want Notre Dame to win , they don't. Same for UVa.
Thanks for nothing, basketball gods.
They'll probably make it so the tarred ones win it all so Roy will have at least 1 NC that won't be vacated when the NCAA sanctions finally come down some time in 2525.

The NCAA is a today joke organization, the fact the orange are in the tourney let alone the FF is blasphemy. Meanwhile KU gets murderer's row in the South.

You are definitely a better person than I am, HE.
When I don't have a horse in the race, it matters not.

I will admit that for once I do actually have an FF team aside from KU that I like in Kruger's Sooners and the star Mr. Hield.
Plus with KU out of it I would like to see another Big 12 team win it all to provide just a little validation for just how good the conference was this year.
But my absolute bottom line wish is I want anyone BUT the tarred ones to win it all.
My greatest wish would be no more wins for them this year, preferring to see Roy fall to Boeheim in the FF yet again.
Then Syracuse can lose to OU in the NC.
But if that does not pan out, at the very least I wish for no more NCs for the tarred ones.
I will say that I won't be watching this year. Too hard to do after such a promising season was cut short.
