I love UConn but I also

It's Fairfield for me too. Spent 3 years there (79-82) doing a dual degree program with UConn.

Awesome a fellow Stag, I'm class of 2015. Grew up a UConn fan but somehow never made it there for school. Currently getting my masters online at Penn State so I'm 0/2 on being a student at UConn.

In other news, Fairfield basketball is awful and needs to be rebuilt.
 
I grew up in Connecticut. I've been a UConn fan since I was a little kid (when Ray Allen was on the team). However, I went to BYU for undergrad so I am also a fan of the Cougars. Their basketball program has been reasonably solid for quite a while, although the last few years have been down years.

Between my wife and I, we have allegiance to a quarter of the ACC...UVA, UNC, NCst...and...Dook

I mostly just follow UConn basketball but we had a home and home in football when I was at UVA and I still found myself rooting for UConn even though the closest association I have with UConn is playing soccer for a former UConn assistant coach...and living in CT growing up

Canisius(hence the name). Program is in shambles though.

Aye that’s awesome, I didn’t know that!

I have a Univ. Buffalo law degree and they play 5 minutes away from my house so I’ve always rooted for them. It’s finally paying off this year.

I grew up near Marist College and, to a lesser extent, Army.

I bought season tickets to Marist basketball when I was a freshman in high school and later, Army football.

I'm still a booster for both schools in various sports.

Big Sean Kennedy fan.

Huh, I’m a Buffalo grad too that picked up UConn when I moved to CT 18 years ago. Bulls basketball has been stunning.

I dated a girl from UC Santa Cruz and spent a fair amount of time around campus, so I tend to pull for their ultimate Frisbee team. Go Banana Slugs.

I root for the schools I went to:

UConn
URI
Springfield College
AIC

Bring the hate, but in football, Syracuse when they aren't playing UConn. My dad was a fan, and he went to college with MacPherson, so I went to a lot of games as a kid.

I grew up a Syracuse fan but somehow switched. Not sure why, I guess because I decided the fruit was a little arrogant for what they were or maybe it’s simply because I crossed state lines.

Northeastern when I can. They haven't been as good since JJ was there.

I was a freshman at northeastern in 2004-05. Those first few years were pretty great with JJB and Shawn James. They weren't a great team, but they were FUN to watch
 
I pull for the Wisconsin Badgers pretty hard, mostly because I loved Bo Ryan and Jordan Taylor. Pulled for URI during the Hurley era because I had friends who went there, but less so since he left as their fans have been brutal about it. Pull for CCSU and try to watch their games whenever they're on TV
 
Lehigh, especially after the glorious year when McCollum and the boys beat duke
 
Bucknell grad. They weren’t even on the b-ball radar when I was there 87-91, but follow them a bit now and root for them except if they face the Huskies. Have a kid at OU now so keep an eye on them too.

I’m kinda the opposite, grew up loving St. John’s but’s converted to Uconn once going there. Now that Mullen is at the helm, I want them to do well.

My son will be playing baseball a team Holy Cross, so I’m starting to follow their teams.

Please to turn in your Boneyard ID card, thank you.

I love UConn Huskies basketball but I also.. am a fan of UNC-Greensboro basketball.

I was born in Connecticut and have followed the huskies for as long as I can remember.. but probably more like since 1993, when I was 5 years old, I remember my father explaining the game of basketball to me while watching a UConn game live, when we had Ray Allen, Donyell, Donny, TK and KO. My family grew me up a UConn fan, but when i was young we moved to North Carolina, I ended up getting a college scholarship and I graduated from UNCG. While UConn has been great for many years now, the other ncaa basketball team i follow is 14-3 (NET: 89) this year after making it to the tourney last year for the 3rd time ever.

Does anyone else have an Alma mater that you pull for that isn't UConn?

I've drank my fair share of sacreds and force fed myself enough turkey and ketchup sandwiches to be able to pull for another team (;

I live 20 min from UVM

I went to UNCW during their nice run over the past few years with Kevin Keatts, a great time to be at the school. Now that I live in CLT, I pull for NC State as my second team because of Keatts.

I think he’s going to be one of the great coaches in this game over the next 20+ years.
 
Kentucky.

Always in the mix. Fun watching the best players of every class get after it. Like their commitment to excellence.
