Duke or Baylor?

One one hand: A Baylor win would do the entire free world a favor by taking out the hype machine known as Duke. One can only imagine the amount of silence from ESPN and CBS, knowing they have to cover another Final Four without their beloved Dukies. However, that would also mean that for the first time since 2003, UTEP's moniker of "The only Men's Division I Basketball Champions in Texas" would be in (relative) jeopardy. Baylor would only need two more victories to win the championship.

On the other: A Duke win would ensure that UTEP remains as the only Division I Basketball Champs in Texas. Obviously, if that were to happen, then the US Sports Media would take that news as rationally as possible have their heads asplode at the idea that Duke can win another title. The amount of hype, fanfare and hyperbole that the World-Wide Leader and other networks could create for Duke would be astronomical, borderline sickening.

As a Miner fan and a fan of College Basketball, it's difficult to find a team to root for here...
