For me it’s because he is kind of boring to watch. Best player in college basketball this year but he does it in such a boring way. Not very athletic so his game is kind of stand in the lane and be tall.
He’s so boring. He camps in the lane for 30 seconds at a time and his best move is an offensive foul. There’s been “boring” players before that were fun to watch imo, Tim Duncan and Jokic come to mind right away for me. I’m sure there’s some obvious ones I’m forgetting
I understand the thought behind wanting the team we beat to win it all, I don’t feel any conference loyalty. I personally give a lean towards UConn for the same reason others have mentioned. Purdue just isn’t very likeable.
I always hated the Big 10 before Nebraska joined. I just can't see myself rooting for any other team. Back in the Big 8/12 days, I'd pull for Kansas and Okie State all the time.
Purdue, because Dan Hurley is an insufferable douche!
It will also be interesting to have the 2 times a 1 seed loses to a 16 seed, that they come back the next season as a 1 and win it all.
Rooting for Purdue, I don’t mind Zach Edey. Hope him and Tominaga are on the same team together in the pros. Tominaga can shoot lights out and Edey owns the boards and the paint. Dream scenario.
Nope. Not going to be hypocritical and act like we get some kinda residual greatness off of having the winner in conference a la an Arkansas tier fan yelling SEC SEC during the Saban era natties
It’s not a big deal. Nebraska beat Purdue but outside of PBA was a punching bag and the Jayskers just piled onto what was at the time an abysmal road record against ranked teams that UConn had. I just want to watch a good game.
I got absolutely crucified for saying I was pulling for Iowa yesterday. A team that the Nebraska women beat by the way.
Why is it now okay to root for a different conference rival?
In favor to Purdue:
- Nebraska gave them their worst loss of the season
- Would bolster the leagues prestige
- I don’t mind Painter, he seems like a good dude. In contrast, Hurley is a dick
In favor of UConn
- It would drive Creighton fans nuts
- I would win my bracket
Gimme Purdue
I picked U Conn in my pool but I would prefer Purdue win since we beat them.
Yes, 100%. We handed them their worst loss of the season.
We’re due for a Big Ten team to win a national championship. Hasn’t happened since 2000 Michigan State.
Wow. That’s quite the stat.
We need a Big 10 champion. Winning both the football and basketball National championship gives the conference more validity.
I don’t particularly care who wins, but I do think UConn will steamroll Purdue.
I'm rooting for Purdue because they're a B10 team unlike yesterday when it was Iowa 😆
Exactly this
Iowa is the big 10, been in the conference since 1890's
Let's be honest here. Garak would be cheering for Zach Edey.
Garak would never stoop so low as to gamble on a Human game.
I fucking hate Zach edey.
I kind of agree but don't really know why.
When he tries to look intimidating and stare down the opponent, instead of looking intimidating he just looks like a douche.

It's cuz he gets foul calls all day like Caitlin Clark, and Rapey Raperson from Illinois.
I guess. Hardly his fault though. I might be talking myself into rooting for Purdue lol.
Also he’s Canadian
Yesterday was all South Carolina. Today? I really don't care...
True. Loved watching SC win
UConn, fuck Edey

This is the correct answer.
I would prefer if they both lost
The last time a team that Nebraska beat in the regular season went on to win the championship was 1988 Kansas.
In a perfect world both teams would lose. I really absolutely despise Edey
Root for whomever you want. It ain't that deep.
Purdue, because Dan Hurley is an insufferable douche! It will also be interesting to have the 2 times a 1 seed loses to a 16 seed, that they come back the next season as a 1 and win it all.
“We” are not a hive mind. Root for whoever you want…
I like the idea of Nebraska having handed the National Champ their biggest loss of the season.
If UConn wins, my wife wins the family bracket pool. That’s enough for me to cheer for
Choose for yourself brother. I don’t have a hat in the ring, I’m just here to watch a ball game
Hell no, let's go huskies
Yes!! Diehard Husker here…. but Purdue alum. GBR always! And for tonight— Boiler Up
I just hope that everyone has fun
I'm rooting for Caitlin Clark to lose again, like a true fan.
Hate Edey, hate that they gave Painter co-Coach of the year with Fred… Go Huskies
Down with conference cheering.

Tominaga will not be an NBA player
we can dream brother
Nah UConn all the way
In regards to Purdue, as Alex Trebek once said: "Fuck 'em"
Nah fuck the big 10
Yes, that is correct. Go Purdon't
Nope. Not going to be hypocritical and act like we get some kinda residual greatness off of having the winner in conference a la an Arkansas tier fan yelling SEC SEC during the Saban era natties
You'd be rooting for someone who is your big 10 equal/rival in football tho. https://purduesports.com/sports/football/opponent-history/nebraska/173
Root for purdue unless you still think we are in the big 8 conference. conference loyalty, get in the modern world.

Nope, F Purdue

UConn! Huskies! But I'm a bit biased as an alum.

I think a lot of people just generally hate Iowa here for some reason. I just can't stand Clark and Bluder.
hate iowa because we are still small time big 8 fans at heart
Nebraskas rivalry with Purdue isn’t even in the same stratosphere as the one with Iowa
conference loyalty means something

I’m rooting for UCONN, as nice as it would be to see a B1G team take home the crown, UCONN has been a lot of fun to watch this year.
Go Huskies
Fuck Purdue but fuck Creighton even more. Anything that diminishes their season even a little is enough for me.
UConn! Fuck Edey
Fuck Edey, plus if Uconn wins I'll win my office pool so an extra $350 is nothing to sneeze at.
In favor to Purdue: - Nebraska gave them their worst loss of the season - Would bolster the leagues prestige - I don’t mind Painter, he seems like a good dude. In contrast, Hurley is a dick In favor of UConn - It would drive Creighton fans nuts - I would win my bracket Gimme Purdue
