It'll hurt me due to the team being so likable. Usually I root for myself, UK and bragging rights, but this year, it's about the players.
I really want them to win.

Will it hurt if your team doesn't win it all this year?

Auburn fans. Do you feel like this is your best shot or do you think the best is still yet to come?
When is Final Four good enough?
I have to imagine Duke fans with K's farewell tour. 2 Final Fours in the last 18 years is no way to go out.

In CFB there were two teams clearly head and shoulders above the rest. In CBB I think there is a tier of teams that could win it and a second tier of teams that could win it if they figure a few things out or get hot at the right time. I think UT is in the second tier and has a "punchers" chance, but don't expect them to win it all.
I have never had a win it all or bust mind set, so no. Btw, I don't personally know the players and it's not like we are friends, so I can't even comprehend the notion of wanting them to win for their sake alone.
Kind of hurts every year at the end. Though this year I’d be crazy to think it was even possible, so there’s that.
Just get in the tourney and I believe UNC will do that.
Well at first I didn’t think UK would get past the Sweet Sixteen, then Tennessee and Kansas happened and I’ve seen where UK could be playing for a 1 seed in the tournament. Then we squeak out a win against Vandy.
I don’t know what to think. Sometimes when a team exceeds expectations and loses it can hurt more than just living up to their ceiling and losing.

The fact of the matter is that almost anyone can beat anyone. That is what makes CBB thrilling and disappointing at the same time. We play SCAR at 1:00 and I'm on edge. Should we beat them, yes. Could we lose, yes. However, that's what makes it fun. 😲
It hurts every year when the team loses its last game. But this year will hurt a little more because we have the best offense in the country.
I’m confident about today, TyTy is 100 percent healthy according to him. Bama will be tough at home but if we play our game we will win.
I like your optimism. I worry about which version of our team shows up. Road games haven’t been too kind to us overall. Maybe that’s changed for good now.
Not sure how we can feel bad about road games going forward. There will be no environment like Kansas going forward and we passed with flying colors. I wouldn’t take too much from the Vandy game. They are bottom 3 in the conference and we got them at home. Sandwiched in between two really tough road games.
Alabama is a home run or strikeout team. Just sort of depends if they’re hitting their 40 3 point attempts or not.
After the Notre Dame loss I would have said no, I expect to have a bad year. At this point, I think we can beat anyone. Let’s see what happens.
I'm feeling a lot of similarities in the current team and 19. If we can figure out how to pick up our three point shooting we can certainly replicate that run. Especially if Shannon gets healthy and starts playing within the team structure we will be incredibly hard to beat. No other team has had what was supposed to be their their best player miss this much time and still be one of the top teams.
