Florida or Houston, who do you prefer

[bluegoad72]

It's clearly Houston. Why on earth would we root for an in conference Rival to win it? Helps them with recruiting, gives them bragging rights, etc.
I do root for the conference to do well vs other in tournament, but SEC has proven itself this tourny to be the best, so go Cougars.

Somehow we have people acting like this is a win for us if a team from our conference wins it. It’s not. I wouldn’t call it a loss, but it ain’t a win.

No one from the SEC roots for us. I’ll treat them all with the same respect.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Houston has my full support right now. Plus, I'm not going to actively root for an SEC team if I don't have to.

Go and get it Houston!

100% correct.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

I had Florida winning it all, but I don’t like the recruiting advantage it could give Florida. I don’t like them winning a title more recently than us.

Give me Houston.

[Tim0808]

Houston all the way for me. I cannot get pass the allegations from this season. He just looks creepy to me.

 

[sportspm]

I hope Houston wins. I would like to see Sampson get one before he retires. It would be Florida’s 3rd title if they won. Houston kept UT from the final 4 and Duke from winning it, so I think we owe it to them to cheer for them😉

 

[ralphdaltonfan]

I can just enjoy the game without having any Duke BS shoved down our throats

What's interesting about Houston is they'll be the one team in Non Conference to play the Top 4 SEC Teams. They played Auburn and Alabama early in the season and Tennessee in Elite 8. Now for the National Championship they get the SEC's best in Florida.

Florida will have a "Road" game with Houston have majority of support much like Tennessee in the SEC Championship game in Nashville.

Florida hasn't lost to anyone outside the SEC all year.

I picked Florida to beat Duke in my Bracket but I don't mind Houston at all and if anything I had doubts about them all year as I didn't like how they played offensively but their toughness/grit have come through. Also a great friend is a big UH fan so glad he and his family are happy.

I can't lose because Duke is out of this game and just sit back and watch an enjoyable National Championship game.

Gators!

"I can just enjoy the game without having any Duke BS shoved down our throats"

Exactly! I wasn't about to watch the Final if Duke was in it, Will watch now

 

[W1LDCAT22]

Personally, I enjoy Florida style more...

But as for school brand, Houston...

I like Houston

 

[NerlensCat]

A Florida win would cap of a historically great season for the SEC. Florida all the way.

 

[bbncal02]

Conferences don’t win championships, teams do. I’d prefer Houston win it all, but my feelings won’t be hurt if it’s Florida. Happy that Duke won’t be it.

True. Let me rephrase. The team from the toughest conference, that has played hard games week in and week out, should deserve it more.

Whoever wins the game tomorrow night is the team that deserves it more, nothing else matters now

 

[fitchslapped]

I would like too see the pervert take it all

I think that's been part of the perv's perving problem. At least spending too much time thinking about taking it all...

 

[uk78]

I think Florida will win but i would prefer Houston. Only one SEC team, Kentucky, should be king of the hill. It's been too long for our rightful place back at the top as the greatest program of all time, leader of our conference, etc. Unfortunately, in today's era, especially younger people have short-term memories. So Houston can win and then they had their moment and that's it.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

If Florida wins maybe the coach will hop on the NBA train and we can pick up a good player or two from them

 

[CatDadCoog]

I would prefer the Coogs thank you

 

[UKFAN4L]

Sampson….everything he did illegal is legal now.

 

[MegaBlue05]

Houston.

Florida has two titles and was our biggest conference rival for about 15 years.

Houston prevented UT from reaching a Final Four. Houston saved us from decades of Flagg slurpage. Houston once lost a title on an air balled jumper that ended up being a lob pass. They are due. I hope it happens for them.

 

[KYExtemper]

I'm all-in on Houston. Sampson is a damn good coach that deserves a title on his resume. He's built that program from irrelevance to something important again and is one of the reasons Houston is in the Big 12.

Plus, Houston getting a title would erase some of their heartbreak in the 1980s with Phi Slamma Jamma, especially the NC State loss.

 

[L.O.D.]

Golden comes off like a douche Houston Sampson deserves one

Stop belittling teams when they win against UK, blaming the refs all the time,saying you're their superbowl, The SEC is out to get you like the boogeyman, etc...and take an L with grace, then maybe somebody from the SEC will root for UK.

Stop embracing victimhood.

Thanks for the completely unsolicited advice. You don’t know me, clown.

 

[KingofHedgehogs]

It's called a generalization, just like you LITERALLY did as well, genius.

Clown? Thats ironic. I gotta ask, did you attend FSU's circus class on their campus or does making a fool of yourself come naturally without instruction?

Be honest....you liked driving that little car with your 16 buddies, didnt you? Or maybe you didn't have the seniority to get behind the wheel.

 

[MakinMusic]

Want Houston to win it.

 

[FltDoc]

Prefer the Gators (after all we beat them -- some tiny, insignificant consolation).

Am picking Houston 'cause not so sure Clayton can continue to be "on-fire"

How about this, I’ll avoid generalizations this time. I don’t know who your team is, but you, specifically, are an asshole.

 

[sefleming]

I'm fine with either one. Guard play key in tourney so I would say Florida but pulling for Houston and Coach Sampson

Says the guy who started personal insults/name calling first? Just because you were getting mad at me for continuing with the generalizations you started?

I find myself glad you consider myself differently then you, apparently. Ultimately though, you have zero accountability. That figures. Move on bc youre embarassing yourself even further.

 

[Zuma75]

I want Houston to win. I respect the hell out of Samson as a coach, and I’d rather keep the ‘ship out of the SEC. Can’t say I love Golden, either, though he clearly knows basketball.

Plus Houston bounced the Vols and Dookies out of the tournament - reason enough!

 

[3Eye]

I hate SEC teams, because SEC teams hate us.
If UK was in the finals, the SEC fans would root for the other team.
F’em.

 

[storm1507]

I almost always root for the SEC team and Florida’s roster is much more likable than Auburn, Tennessee or Alabama’s.

Yes, FL is a team that I could really root for and enjoy..................if they were KY. But, they are an SEC team with 2 titles already and a young coach. I'll go with Houston FTW.

 

[UKAlum84]

Golden is young vs Sampson is a coaching veteran with hard working team that just might get lucky tomorrow night.

Im rooting for Houston.

I like the cut of your jib

 

[Baller Val]

Houston, please. Heck of a run and want to see them finish it off.

They'd be the first team in 50 years to win it all in their home state.
