I was rooting for Texas Tech, but not in a big way. Virginia knocked out my second team Purdue, plays an ugly ass game, is from the ACC and Kyle Guy looks like he's 12. All good reasons to root against them. Texas Tech, not much reason to root for them other than the coach credits Bobby Knight with his success. But yeah, I didn't really care.
The announcers were saying it was the greatest turnaround in NCAA history. I don't really agree. Virginia was embarrassed by UMBC last year, but they were a no. 1 seed two years running. I'd be more impressed by a team that had a losing record the previous season winning it all, that would be a bigger turnaround.
Vols made it twice on "one shining moment", which was pretty cool. Of course, Zion Williamson was featured 6 times. That must be some kind of record for a team going out in the Elite 8.
