Would Would We Prefer to Win From Teams Remaining

Biased as a UF fan, but:

Florida
Michigan State
Duke
Houston
Texas Tech
Auburn
Tied for last: Alabama & Tennessee

I know the UK fans would disagree with this list, because you all gatekeep overall number of titles. UF fans gatekeep new title winners, especially within our conference. I don’t want Auburn, Bama or Tennessee to be able to claim a basketball natty. Bama and Tennessee would bother me more than Auburn for some strange reason.

Another title for schools like Duke or MSU (or UK, UNC) just disappears into the ether, to me.
I hope you win it. Not gatekeeping. Prefer the Alabama teams to everyone else. Only root for UT over Duke.
 
Tennessee is the half-retarded cousin that beat you up in second grade, and makes fun of you at family reunions. You dislike them but you don't hate them.

But Duke is a different story. Duke is the elitist neighbor kid who gets away with making the baseball team just because his dad is the coach. He's the guy who made up a horrible rumor about your little sister and got away with it because his dad has money. In the realm of hatred, I take my half-retarded cousin any day over the elitist neighbor kid .
 
Florida. My older brother went there. I was born there. All 3 of my older siblings grew up going to Florida games. I root for them secondarily and grew up in a house divided. But it's not even in the same universe compared to how I feel about UK. I don't live and die by every possession and don't feel like my dog died after Florida gets knocked out.

Equally anybody but Duke. Or Alabama. But Alabama needs to beat Duke.

Shit forgot Tennessee. Can't stand snitches.

I want Houston to win... think Kelvin Sampson is a heck of a coach.
If Tennessee plays the same defense against Houston that they played against us, they will beat Houston. Houston is not nearly as good on offense as we are. Not many teams could or will beat Tennessee's defense if it is like they played againstt us. I know we hate them but can't deny their effort on defense. Ask Brea & Carr, they could not find a shot. Those two not being able to get open is the reason we are not playing Houston tomorrow.

Houston has 3 players that shoot over 40% from 3 point land. I'm sure you've watched them play more than me so I'll take your word for it.

I'm not sure what happened last night but I think our players just laid an egg the missed shots were contagious. Similar to the Ohio St. game it just spiraled and they couldn't recover.
 
Houston actually has a similar rated offense to us.

We are 10th in offensive efficiency
They are 12th.

On a points per possession basis, essentially equal.
