Personally, I'm justifying it in my mind by saying that I am rooting for the players (one in particular) not the coach. I know that it is a very fine line.
On the other hand, if Kentucky plays either Nova or Bucknell, I won't be rooting for Kentucky.

What he said!!! Btw, didn’t his Memphis team that beat us and won the title in 2006 have to relinquish the title due to some Calipari slime ball activity?

His 2006 team got knocked out in the Regional final. However, two years later, they had to vacate a national runner-up finish due to some rules violations involving Derrick Rose. A UMass team he coached also had to vacate a Final Four finish.

in 2006 Florida beat UCLA in the final. I think it was an elite 8 appearance for Memphis that year and they lost to UCLA in the finals.
Had we beaten Memphis (darn foul trouble for Lee) we would have gotten to wear white in a sweet 16 game as Bradley the 13 seed advanced out of the other side.

Just read an ESPN column suggesting that Sestina’s move to Kentucky may have played a part in 5-star Matthew Hurt’s decision to choose Duke over Kentucky.

That was a very good interview. It might have been posted already, but can somebody please remind me what masters degree Nate plans on pursuing at Kentucky?

Lunardi must like the moves that Kentucky has made. He moved them up from a 2 seed to a 1 seed. If all goes as expected, we should have somebody to cheer for well into the Dance, but a whole lot could happen between now and then.

I just saw this today, but The Athletic had a long article on Sestina and Emporium a few months ago:

I can't read the entire article. It requires a paid subscription or a free 7-day trial that rolls into a paid subscription.

The Athletic is really enjoyable. Very good writing, interesting topics, and completely free of ads or those hugely annoying auto-play videos that dominate other sports websites.

You can download the app on a phone and get to read 2 free articles per month without a paid subscription. I downloaded it and read the entire article, which has non-Kentucky fans rooting for Nate and Kentucky in the upcoming season.
