I'll watch the games, but my interest is confined to hoping for a close game with some nice plays. Three teams from schools in ex-Confederate states and an Izzo team don't give me much to root for.

Haha “ex confederate states”? That’s a strange grudge to still hold (not that there aren’t some folks in those states still holding it the other way too).

I want UVA because the turnaround from first upset 1 seed is cool. And I have family who work there. And David Berman.

my thoughts biases:
bruce pearl is a good coach enormous cheater (but mostly fuck the sec)fuck the entire state of texasizzo is a good coach but also a tremendous dickgod bless the acc; tony bennett is handsome; 1-seed loss > narrative

Well, in my lifetime those ex-Confederate states were still actively Jim Crow segregationist states, and the universities in those states were solid bastions of white privilege, whose traditions of racism have not yet disappeared. So, it is very hard for me to see them as having brand new 'storylines' which don't mention that glaring fact.

unlike oregon
To continue the derail, Oregon didn't join the confederacy, although it certainly had a lot of copperheads and sympathizers living here at the time of the civil war. In the nineteenth century it enacted some Jim Crow-like laws, but it was nowhere near so systematic as the southern states were. After 1930, roughly speaking, Oregon's segregation morphed to be like that of every other state in the union at the time, enforced by deed covenants and redlining by banks instead of Jim Crow.
I know Oregon's racist history (and present), and it is shameful. But yes, it is still unlike that of Texas, Virginia or godforsaken Alabama.

― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 9 April 2019 00:59 (seven years ago)
sorry Texas Tech!
Rebounding should be a huge factor, because of lots of missed shots. I'm saying, lotta dribbling, lotta passing lotta of missed shots. I see Texas Tech as slightly more likely to prevail. Not going to bet on it though.
