Even as the odds-on favorites to win the tourney, the undefeated Kentucky Wildcats are apparently the most-liked of the four teams set to vie for the title this weekend.
At least if you ask 14 million Facebook users.
Based on this unofficial poll, Kentucky is most-liked in 27 states, including most of the south. The Duke Blue Devils, who seem to boast the best chance to knock off the favorites, top 20 states. Meanwhile, Wisconsin and Michigan State only come out on top in a combined three states.
It’s somewhat interesting that Kentucky would lead in California and Nevada. Fans that don’t usually have a horse in the race normally tend to lean for the underdogs—Wisconsin and Michigan State in this case.
In terms of most-talked about, Kentucky wins that one going away.
Duke takes on Michigan State with Kentucky going up against Wisconsin in the Final Four matchups Saturday. The winners will vie for the title Monday night in Indianapolis.
