As for South Carolina; up until three weeks ago, most alums probably couldn't have told you a thing about the basketball program - except the coach. The one who yells a lot and whose face turns the same shade of garnet that's on the team's jerseys.

The four teams descending upon Phoenix this week are basketball's version of a merry band of misfits - the blue blood, the underdog, the well-funded upstart and the nobodies.


Who is who that he's referring to here? I've got the blue blood and the well funded upstart.

It's actually a complimentary article, so don't get your panties bunched up, jr.

Damn I've never seen a fanbase that just won a title in FB this damn obsessed over a basketball appearance in the final 4. Christ!

Aren't you just filled with jealousy

According to you and this article if UNC wins it is somewhat tainted because it wasn't against a big name program

You should worry about how your basketball program has been irrelevant since Rick Barnes left 17 years ago and not how your biggest rival is attempting to upstage your football championship

2016 CFP Final Rated Lower Than Duke-Wisconsin Basketball
This playoff did not have a meter-moving team. Alabama brought the SEC audience (who watch anyway). Oklahoma isn’t a draw. Michigan State and Clemson aren’t traditional football powers. It ended up with an Inter-Dixie Final. Not surprisingly, it rated much lower than Ohio State playing two cross-regional matchups last year.

2017 - Why The Clemson Vs. Alabama Title Game Did Not Get High Ratings
CFP Championship overnight ratings on ESPN:

2017: Clemson/Alabama: (15.3 combined)
2016: Alabama/Clemson: 15.8
2015. Ohio St/Oregon: 18.5

— Sports TV Ratings (@SportsTVRatings) January 10, 2017


Clemson Is Not a Traditional Football Brand: This isn’t a knock on Clemson. But, the school’s consistent national football success is a recent phenomenon, basically the last few seasons. It does not have the accrued pull of schools that have been on television playing big games for 40-50 years. One-half or one-third the size of some of the bigger football powers, Clemson does not have the huge national alumni base of an Ohio State. Many people outside the South would not even know where Clemson is located.

This is the Final Four that makes College Basketball worth watching. Everyone loves the little guy, that is why most wanted Clemson to win it in Football.

A final four of UCLA (Ball), Duke (everyone hates or loves), Michigan (big name cinderella), & Notre Dame (everyone hates or loves). This would be a network's dream. All big name. All have storylines. All represent a different part of the nation, mostly.

The Final Four nobody wanted that still has two 1 seeds and a 3 seed in it, and a cinderella story to boot. Jesus Christ you're pathetic.

I like this Final Four.


It's different than just the usual Duke, Kentucky, Michigan State, Wisconsin type Final Fours that we usually get.
