Fan support for the teams in the Final Four is pretty even.
I asked people on Twitter the other day who they wanted to win the college basketball title with Texas Tech, Auburn, Michigan State and Virginia all remaining.

More than 1,100 people voted, and the results were very interesting. Michigan State led the way with 28 percent, Auburn and Texas Tech each checked in with 27% and Virginia came in last with only 18% support.

Michigan State coming in first and Virginia coming in last? I didn’t see the poll unfolding like that at all. How are more people supporting Izzo than Tony Bennett? That doesn’t make sense at all, and I’m saying that as a guy who cheers for the Big Ten.

At this point, I’m okay with MSU or Virginia winning the whole thing. The Spartans winning would be good for the Big Ten. The conference is desperate for a title, and I’m down with Izzo bringing one to East Lansing.
As for Virginia, again, you just want a guy like Bennett to win in life. Plus, it’d make one hell of a comeback after losing in the first round as a one seed, which was the first time in history.
It’d be awesome to see Bennett, who does have deep Wisconsin ties, go home with the trophy after cutting down the nets.
