    So do you root for Bama to beat UCONN to keep them from back to back or do you root for UCONN to beat Bama because it's Bama?

    Gotta go for Bama. Don't want UCONN to go back to back. Pulling for Purdue to beat Tennessee, though.

    With all of these teams not having previous Final4 experience (which can include Purdue as well), UConn would have a distinct edge over these others.

    And with two possible SEC team 1st-timers as well (remember 1994), I say let the best team win!

    Sporadically watched but, Looked like Tennessee shooting went cold at end of first half. Where was that Sunrise Easter service at Bazza?

    Zach Edey just is impossible to manage when he is under the basket. The guy is huge. Tennessee cannot get anything going unless they are pushing the ball forward fast. Edey is also a foul drawing machine.

    UCONN all day man! Don’t even have to think about it. I’ll risk them being back to back over Bama getting one.

    These words should never be spoken/written by a Gator fan. I award you no points and narrowly avoid the temptation to throw shade upon your very existence. :p

    This is the answer . . . . . . . imo
    Should UConn repeat the Gators' wonderful feat, well then . . . they are great and deserve the accolades that we enjoyed with our Gators.
