How much college basketball do you watch? (no poll)

[Jaydumo20]

Wanted to leave the response open.

Im assuming most of us watch every UConn game. Outside of that, how much other CBB do you watch?

Do you prioritize the other big east games?
Do you watch all those conference games and then also watch the top ten play if you can?
Or do you just watch highlights and recaps?

We all have opinions on the portal guys, but how much of these guys have you seen? I saw a ton of Hines, so I know his game, but I only saw 2 reg season duke games.

Which posters should we trust the most, based on how much theyve seen with their own eyes?

 

[BLANCOHUSKY]

99% only UCONN

 

[ColchVEGAS]

Five years ago, I used to watch a ton more outside of just UConn. Now, outside of UConn, I only watch some of the early season big game match ups then all in on Championship Week and NCAA tourney.

My wife tends to go to bed early, so I watch a lot on weeknights.

 

[Scottzer]

Outside of UConn - apart from the early season tournaments, pretty much the Fox Friday game, and usually 1 or 2 Saturday matchups.

Don’t usually watch other conferemce tournaments. This year I thought St. John’s was an inevitable final, so I skipped all non-UConn big east tourney games.

 

[Irvine]

Pretty much all UConn games and March Madness. Will put on college game over NBA when not busy with the kids and bored at home.

 

[HuskyinWRNY]

Just UConn

 

[WillB4]

Every Husky game plus any good matchup with top 25 teams

 

[Icehawk]

Almost all UConn but sometimes I'll toss another interesting one on - this year I did watch a lot of the tournament but with 2-4 games simultaneously when we weren't playing.

 

[bendm]

Every UConn game. Ideally a game or two per weeknight. More on weekends if I can like 3-4 per day. No BE.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I will watch virtually any basketball game. I watch parts of multiple games a night, and will jump around if there are multiple games of interest on simultaneously. In terms of conference, I rank them in terms of interest:

1) Big East
2) ACC
3) Some of the A10 teams
4) Big 10/SEC/Big 12 - depends on matchup
5) West Coast - I will sometimes fall asleep watching the Big West or WCC on my phone.

 

[Fantana]

Way more than I am gonna admit. There is not an evening that its not on. Do I watch any as intently as a UConn game, no? But watch them nonetheless.

This is good to know. When i read posts speaking about the finer points of a non-Uconn player's game I often wonder if a lot of it is parroting experts without having watched these guys actually play.

You both speak knowledgeably and I now know why.

Im guessing you arent the guys running to the bathroom to Google answers at Bar Trivia nights.

 

[SaeHusky]

I don't miss any Uconn games. But I also watch about 20 to 30 other games a year

 

[UConnTrumbull]

I’ll be honest I’m not as obsessed with the sport as I was in the early-late 2000s. In 2009 I predicted the entire West regional correctly (UConn’s region). I could not consume enough college basketball back then.

Today - every UConn game. And maybe 1-2 games on and off when UConn is not playing that day, if it’s a close game.

 

[GlastonTim]

All UConn games
Other Big East games during the week
Top 25 matchups if they look interesting
Occasional women’s games against good comp
Peek in on NBA games with former players

 

[Excalibur]

More than I did 5-10 years ago. My son watches a ton, so I watch with him a lot.

 

[Lafayette]

In Person - 6-8 UConn Games
on TV all but 6-8 UConn Games

For Women included in the above.

 

[Mr. French]

I watch every big game and pretty much watch multiple college games per night. It’s probably my most watched sport. I also work evenings so I always have a TV next to me with a game on. I can’t always pay 100% to it if I’m busy but I’m always watching the games. The night time 11 pm slot on espn is money because I’m usually getting done with work then.

In my 20s I watched every game with a fine tooth comb.

 

[willie99]

I used to watch college basketball nonstop all week long. Maybe 13+ per week

Now UConn plus an occasional peak at others

 

[MrJoe]

i watch all uconn games but brief lookin at other games during regular season . a good bit of BE Tournament and NCAA tournament but rarely full games. it’s always about the players not the team( outside of uconn) . as i thought about the question i realized i watched creighton and marquette more than other teams cause of the players kalbrenner ashford schiermann oso kam jones kolek … two years of continuity

 

[AllHusky]

Not enough

 

[RuffRuff]

UConn & any teams that look like they can get in UConn's way of a title. Usually the top 15 teams or so.

 

[borninansonia]

only UConn men and women
Before the break-up, I'd watch the Big East.

 

[Hurlees4hed]

I root for UConn and watch every game.

I also follow a few other teams and watch most of their games every year: Duke, UNC, Indiana, Kentucky.

Outside of those teams, I will usually watch any top 25 match up and any Big East or Big Ten game that I can catch. If there's a mid-major coach or player that I like (like McCollum at Drake last year) I will try to catch most of those games too.

Definitely the sport I follow most closely. A little bit of a sickness.

 

[LetsGoUC]

I watch every single UConn game no matter what. If I am not by a TV, then I watch on my phone through YouTubeTV or whatever app.

Then I'll also watch a few Big East games to see who is good in our league.

Other than that, if there is a marquee game, I'll tune in (Duke/UNC or a Arizona/BYU this year). But mainly just UConn or Big East games.

 

[JB75]

Before wifey and kids and during the golden days of the big east , I used to watch a Ton. Now, watch every UConn game , pretty much all the big conference tourney games and of course 90% of march madness. Maybe 5-10 non UConn regular season marquee Games too

 

[Henry]

Every UConn men's and women's game (except on FS2, which I don't get)
March Madness
Occasionally watch other teams on weekends if nothing better to do

 

[JB75]

Or my nfl sundays on Redzond where I have all my fantasy teams and bets lined up for the day. Nothing beats that-besides UConn. Not taking that away from me. lol

 

[QDOG5]

Every UConn game. A lot of big 10 games because I’m in Chicago.
