If you can't be with the one you love..................

[Hi-Low]

then (temporarily) love the one you're with, or one still alive anyway.

I'll be rooting for the New England teams (Northeastern, Vermont, Ivy) & AAC (except Cincy). It will probably be short runs for all of them except Houston but who knows.

Once the tourney gets going I'll get on board with any "Cinderella's" that emerge & vehemently root against Duke, KY, Mich St, Kansas, Cuse, Nova & UNC.

I mostly don't want Roy Williams to get his 4th championship & surpass the great Jim Calhoun, or for the Squid, Izzo, Self or Boeheim to ever get their 2nd titles or Wright his 3rd...................we don't need any of them creeping up on JC.

Of usual suspects I can live with it if Duke wins, I'll hate it but whatever, coach K has 5 titles so what's one more.

It sucks with no UConn to root for so Schadenfreude will have to suffice.

 

[Ts5034]

Thats pretty much how I feel about Coach K. Hes already cemented his legacy, so who cares if he wins another few Championships. I think this is Dukes year. Youre right with the Calhoun vs Roy title chase. I was thinking that last night how I dont want him to win his 4th.

 

[uconnbill]

I will root for the Zags and any other team that is not a Blue blood like UK, Kansas, Duke or any Big East school.

 

[joober jones]

Once the field is announced, I'll just have to pick team out of a hat. Of course Duke, UNC and their ilk won't be included.

 

[BY06518]

I just want to see good games. Rooting for our AAC rivals I just can't do, call me crazy but it's still kind of nice to be the only AAC school to have advanced to the second weekend ever since the conference started.

[NatiHuskiFan]

What’s so bad about rooting for the other AAC teams!? I’ll be rooting hard for UC just as an alum. After that it will be whoever is going to let me hit all the parlays in Vegas. I’m heading there for my bachelor party Thursday morning!

Pretty short-sighted view if AAC is our home for awhile. The raising of the conference profile helps all members with recruiting, perception & money. But it's your right of course to root for whoever you want.

 

[SeattleHoop]

UW and Gonzaga. After that Houston and Cincy

 

[CAHUSKY]

Nevada! Reno has been my home since 2005. Go Pack!

 

[intlzncster]

I always go back to my traditional route of rooting against programs I hate. Duke/Cuse number 1 on my snow list annually.

 

[wheelerdog]

Nevada - in honor of the one and only CAHusky

He shouldn’t have won his 3rd, they should have been in the middle of a postseason ban, at a minimum.

 

[polycom]

Zion Williamson needs to win a championship and for that unfortunately, duke needs to win.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Just haven't cared as much about the tournament with UConn not being in it and just the overall state of College hoops. I'm much more looking forward to the NBA playoffs.

 

[Hi-Low]

Yeah, they let good 'ol Roy W. slide on bye like it never happened..................I will always wish an early exit for UNC until he retires already.

 

[Hi-Low]

I'm definitely no where near as locked in without UConn involved but I still get a lot of enjoyment out of watching the little guys bringing down P5 schools / blue bloods.

 

[Mano]

I’ve always liked Beilein, so I wouldn’t mind if Michigan won. Same with the Zags. Screw the ACC and NBE teams. I’d rather us be the only recent national champion out of the AAC. Mostly I just want all the games to be boring, foul filled, low scoring affairs that nobody enjoys with a national title game that needs to be vacated by both participants because of either the ongoing FBI scandal or some other new, unannounced one. That’s all.

 

[UconnU]

I will be rooting for LSU aka Mark Emmerts worst nightmare.

 

[BlueDogs]

It would be best if Houston makes a deep run. NBE schools need to be pounded into the irrelevancy they deserve. I’ll take Colgate, Saint Mary’s and the Zags.

 

[Matrim55]

Rooting against Bradley (unless they play Syracuse)

Instead of basking in its NCAA Tournament glory, Bradley tarnishes its reputation by picking a fight with a local reporter

I hope they lose by 50.

 

[bazz&boujee]

A good fanbase always roots for its conference mates when you are not playing them.
But I can only speak for Louisville fans, we largely understand how important the successes of the AAC plays in to our success as a program.

a good fan base despises any team who stands in our way of success year in and year out. I hope cincinnati gets blown out in the first round. this is uconn baby..

 

[JimHurley]

I’m rooting for any team from the American and also Gonzaga. Of the other teams most likely to make the Final Four, I wouldn’t mind Virginia or Michigan..

 

[JB75]

Anybody but duke. Anybody. Don’t really want to see Carolina or Kansas either. Or Michigan /Michigan st. Some one new like Tennessee LSU Virginia and of course the few northeastern teams

 

[huskyinfl]

Zion Williamson needs to win a championship and for that unfortunately, duke needs to win.

I call this the "long LeBron" play. For the most professional of legacy bettors.
