Other teams you like / root for (or don't)

[jumpstart]

I have no clue as to why... but I usually pull for Duke as a second team.

 

[Magy Cannon]

I admire Kim Barnes Arico so Michigan.

 

[JellyBean]

For me it is:

UConn first (alumni). I then follow Minnesota (home state & family connection), Michigan (family connection), Gonzaga (former player connection), and Fresno State (old coach connection).

None of the four schools from which I have degrees has a competitive WCBB team, so I've never really rooted for any them, although I sort of follow three of them with sporadic and distant interest. UConn is the only women's college team I've ever really rooted for.

I'm not particularly emotional about it. It's just seasonal entertainment.

Other than rooting against UConn's opponents during games, I've never had any animosity toward or dislike of any program or coach.

I do watch quite a few other women's college teams on TV or stream, not because I root for any of them, but just because basketball has been my favorite team sport all my life. However, when I watch games other than UConn, I often do find myself rooting for one of the teams in that particular game for various and unpredictable reasons.

I watch the WNBA far less than college, but I've never had a rooting interest in any WNBA team. I mainly just follow a few players I like. I probably like watching high school games with high level recruits more than I do the WNBA.

One more school and you win a panda doll…

Tenn, Notre Dame, Maryland, LSU, Duke .... for now

Interesting question! We've (both alums) been pretty die-hard fans of Huskies' WBB since Meghan Pattyson was playing, so the teams we kinda tolerate and the ones we loathe have morphed over time. Teams that we're pleased to see win (usually because of the coach) are Princeton and Oregon State. Somewhat less enthusiasm for Duke (we like Kara but... it's still Duke), Creighton (Flannery despite the BE rivalry), and L'ville.

Since we live in the Northwest we used to have a soft spot for the Pac-12 but in the wake of the mass defections we threw most of that lot under the bus (despite grandchildren attending UW). Looking forward to Gonzaga's joining the conference (a niece went there and... Ines!).

We're usually delighted to see the following lose: ND, TN, LSU, ND, ISU, Rutgers and ND. Less delighted (but still brings a smile to our face) to see MD, OSU and PSU founder.

And except as noted above, we're usually pleased to see ANY team in the ACC, Big10, Big12 or SEC lose.

Not passing any judgement, but some of y'all have such a hodgepodge of teams you pull for .

I have no clue as to why... but I usually pull for Duke as a second team.

I know why. Obviously you are a good and solid person, that's why.

Sensing a theme here. Can't place my finger on it though. 😉

By and large I just like good basketball and gracious fans. So teams that play ugly, have poor coaching vs. just outstanding recruiting and poor sport fan bases are all on my "Dislike list".


Pros-Iowa, Michigan, Louisville, SC, Texas, LSU, Vandy, Oklahoma, Villanova, St John's, Creighton, South Dakota State, URI and any teams playing my dislike list. when teams on the dislike list play each other if one team is Tennessee, I want the LV's to lose.

Cons-SoCal, UCLA, TENNESSEE, UNC, Ole Miss, Baylor, Iowa State, Texas Tech, TCU, Purdue, PSU, Rutgers, Georgia, Providence College

Neutral most times but fall into one of the above categories at times-Stanford, Duke, ND, Alabama, Kentucky, rest of the Big East.
