At least I can root for one of the four potential champions over the next 2 days. UConn vs USCjr, yeah no thanks 🤮. Florida vs Dook would have been more of the same but would have sided more with Dook winning because I hate Florida that much. Houston reminds me a lot of Tennessee this season. Someone described them as such and said Houston is like a 2% better version of Tennessee. A little bit better defensively and a little bit better offensively. That team has a lot of grit and a ton of competitive heart. Also, Sampson said if his team didn’t win he would want Tennessee to win because of the respect he has for Barnes. He is A-Ok in my book 👌

I have one issue with Houston. Just because my wife's family lives there, her dad was pulling for U of H over Tennessee. However, I would think a good grandfather should be pulling for their grandson's team! Especially when the grandsons care a lot more about it than you do. So, I've got a problem with that! But, now we have the freaking Florida Gators on the other side, so I guess I have no choice, ugh.

Tough dilemma. Gotta think about the long haul I reckon.

That is one self absorbed fanbase and the reason why everyone else hates them. How are you going to be depressed whenever your program has the best NCAAT winning percentage of all-time, 18 Final Fours, 11 National Championship Appearances, and 5 National Championships overall? You literally win 75% of your NCAAT games. GTFO and go cry me a river.

I get what you're saying but their whining is no worse than the ones in game threads on this site...It must be a fan base syndrome or something, I've never thought fan bases could be so horrible ...

He couldn’t do any worse than the 💩 show in Atlanta right now. As bad as it’s been though, somehow there are two teams that are worse at scoring runs than the Braves. I just don’t think it’s worth it for him to rush back to a bad team. Just tank this season, fire the entire coaching staff outside of the pitching coaches, trade away Sean Murphy and 1 additional core player to get some good players in return, and hope your ping pong ball gets pulled as the number 1 pick in the lottery.

Braves will just pick another pitcher. Doesn't matter if Ping Pong Balls fall for the Braves. Braves need to draft position players now, not pitching...

We got taken to the woodshed. Inexperience reared its ugly head. Flush yesterday down the drain like the big 💩 that it was and move onto a good Ole Miss team on the road. Can’t let it snowball. The schedule only gets tougher from here.
