That's okay...we're not liked and we don't care.

(29,322 posts)1. I'm going to root for the winner of that game to go to the title game
I prefer SDSU over Florida, NC, Kansas, Indiana, Syracuse, Marquette, Miami, or Illinois.

(29,322 posts)3. Great team
Announcers pointed out SDSU is 19th in the country in defensive FG% and FGCU just shot 55.9% on them.
When you factor in their 12-pt win over Miami(Fl) this team is for real.

They lost to Duke, St. Johns, VCU, and Iowa State.

I love the Cinderella story... but beating Miami early really means nothing.

(81,869 posts)7. It's actually considered a "bad loss" for Miami.
And if you look at FGCU's record prior to this week, I agree.

If they continued to keep track. I'm familiar with the team.
They're blowing out opponents rather than narrow victories, they're a solid team.
