Who Ya Rooting For? Wisconsin or Duke?

[Knucklehank1]

Duke is a conference mate and I have a ton of respect for Coach K, but I got to pull for Wisconsin for the following reasons:

1) They beat UK. We are forever indebted to them for that.

2) Wisconsin's roster reminds me of our 2013 team. Veteran, classy guys who have developed together over the last few years.

3) Duke's stars are one and done guys

4) This might be petty, but I can't forget how low class Okafor's family acted when they beat Louisville. And reading on Twitter they have a history of acting like fools, including Saturday night when they were hootin and hollering about Kaminsky winning POY.

ACC baby! The Dukies!!

Duke would have beaten LPT on Monday anyway.

"Elite program", my a$$...

Gotta pull for the team in red all day every day. Never have liked the 'Duke' and not about to start now......and that word has uk in the middle and they wear blue.......just won't pull for any team that wears blue. That about sums it up for me. Badgers over the Blue Devil.

Frankly, to me, it is an Adidas versus Nike game, and a game of true student athletes versus one and doners. I'm going for Wisconsin!

Really like the way Wisconsin plays. Nothing personal against Duke but I'll be rooting for the Badgers

 

[BooneCo_Card]

Wisconsin. No disrespect to Duke, but I like how Wisky does it the old fashioned way.

Badgers. Love their game. Like another poster mentioned, Duke is another one-and-done school like yewkay. I could give a shit less about them being an ACC school. I can't imagine ever rooting for a North Carolina team save NC State.

The Cubs, unfortunately.

I'm of this mind set...Wisconsin represents what is good in College Hoops! Plus Adidas needs all the exposure it can get! "Heart over Hype"!

I have no skin in the game, either way. I like both teams/programs... strong foundations, strong coaches etc.

That being said, I'd love to see Wisconsin win for two main reasons:
(1) I like their team, chemistry, cohesiveness, philosophy, etc
(2) It would be nice to have someone "different" win the title, vs blue bloods

Duke, altogether.

-ACC team
-Kentucky hates them

But I wouldn't be upset at all if the Badgers won.
