I'm going with Florida Atlantic. These guys are 35-3 and are still talked about like theyre some kind of underdog. The committee disrespected them by making them a 9 seed. I would love to see them prove the committee - especially this particular committee - wrong.
Who are you rooting for in the Final Four?
- Thread starter knight82
- Start date
Will root for Miami. Will enjoy florida Atlantic - San Diego state . Then root for Winner of florida Atlantic-San Diego state.
I just hope we dont have to keep looking at old man Hurley in the stands
1- Florida Atlantic
2- San Diego State
3- Miami
2- San Diego State
3- Miami
When UNC talks sheet about another team, you know you can't root for that team.
I always want to root for the smaller conference underdog in FAU, but SDSU is my adopted second team living in San Diego now. Will root for whoever wins in the championship game for sure
No matter the outcome, SDSU will be invited to join the Pac-12. They have slots to fill. 35,000 student enrollment. And always in a bowl game...
San Diego State is one of the most underrated & underappreciated athletic departments. Their football and men’s basketball teams have been regularly ranked for quite some time now. I visited their campus in February and it fits right in with the major schools I’ve visited from the Big Ten, SEC, ACC, etc. Honestly was nicer than USC. Would love SDSU in the B1G, they look the part, have a huge campus and student body, are the main players in a top-8 US media market and amazing destination. But they will end up in the PAC and honestly they should have been sooner. Very deserving of P5 status
They actually joined the Big East for about a week at one point
SDSU is part of the California State University system, the second tier in California behind the University of California (Cal & UCLA). Maybe that won't bother the Pac-10 members any more than it does to have Washington State and Oregon State, also both the second public institutions in their state. Maybe it will because there are multiple campuses in the California State University system. After all, if the Pac-10 takes San Diego State, it will be under a lot of pressure to take Fresno State as well.

Great program. Great coach. Great state.

And, yes, you can be a fan of Rutgers and of UConn at the same time.

For me it's either FAU or San Diego State. I'm rooting for Miami over UCONN, and wouldn't be surprised if Miami ends up winning the whole thing. I know that UCONN is on fire, but so are the other three teams. I will be happy with any of the three teams, as long as UCONN doesn't win.
I think we can argue every one of these teams was underseeded. I'm pulling for SDSU
Fun fact about SDSU’s arena Viejas - it’s actually built literally on top of their old on-campus stadium “the Aztec Bowl” - the stadium steps are still there and abandoned, the last 20 yards of the field is now parking lot. Really cool spot to visit/walk around if you’re into weird sports venues
gotta 'fess up I think they'll win it unfortunately

I am a SHU and Big East fan but I can't bring myself to to root for UConn. LOL
FAU all the way!
