Live at the event is obviously ideal.

If I'm going to watch on TV, I prefer to be alone. Any other team, I can watch with friends of family, but I turn into a monster watching UConn basketball games and can't be allowed around other people.
 
I tend not to be very company. But I will go to bar from time to time or to a game if one is near me in the Delmarva.
 
Even when I am watching with other people I watch it like I am alone. I can't be bothered with conversation. Maybe that's why nobody wants to watch with me. My wife says on game day I am like another person that she does not want to be with. I am much calmer when I am at the game.

Live would be great, but that's rare.

Home Alone is common (+chat). My favorite is home alone or at a bar with one friend who went to UConn with me. So there's no lack of focus on the game, but you get to share the exciting moments.
 
In Texas, at the final 4, with thousands of other screaming Husky fans wearing dog faces on blue shirts, face paint, etc after leaving the pre-game festivities with former UConn players, my roommate (and wives) and of course Jonathan the Husky.
 
Home alone for most games... However, I will say I watched a fair amount of the tournament games at a Bar with a bunch of other huskies and that was AWESOME.

live at the event, then dive in to the replay alone on my laptop the next day.

if live isn't possible, then the ideal situation is at home with a small number of friends/family who genuinely care about the team.
 
What about an option for -
"Home alone with Boneyard Chat" ?
 
I had to choose home alone because no one will watch a game with an insane person that thinks they’re coaching the game
I prefer to watch on my iPad even though I have a large screen TV in the room .bad mojo on the TV . I typically don’t have the sound on . I’ll give the analyst a chance but unless he providing some insight I don’t need to listen to BS
 
Always live when possible, if not home with my two boys 100% focused on game, we normally stand the entire game. Never a bar, no boys and majority don't care about game. Hoop in chat as needed to get fans reactions and maybe add my two cents.
 
For basketball, the choice is easy; In-person 100/100 times.

For football, I prefer watching on TV. The in-person experience is fine from September to middle of October, but once you start getting into Nov-Jan, watching football in-person is absolutely miserable.

I watch live with friends when I can - but I always try to record the games and watch (or re-watch) with the ability to fast forward thru commercials, run replays when I want to, etc. etc.
 
Outside of live, I usually like to watch the games at home alone, so I jack the volume up, yell. and drop f bombs when I disagree with the refs

...but I also have a couple UConn alums in the family, so it's pretty fun watching the games with them too.
 
I prefer live but when watching on tv I like watching it with wife, son, brother who I go to games with

As I recall my pacing, screaming, cursing and jumping during our run there can only be 1 answer. Alone.
My wife has come to understand this behavior.
 
Definitely live in person, but if I’m at home its with my 10 yo daughter. She kind of pays attention, but I think she does it to spend time with me. If it’s March, then it’s at home with my daughter and a pepperoni pizza cut into squares.
 
Being in SW Florida, I guess watching at home is the best available. God bless streaming, I get all the games in one package.
SWFL go out to the bar. It's 80 degrees in December and it's a great way to mix it up with all the other Connecticut people. We must do our part to spread the gospel of UConn to these SEC heathens.
 
Live every time, but generally that's no can do. I used to like watching away games with a few friends who are alumni and as psycho about the games as I am. Now that I live 2,000 miles away, I don't know another local UConn fan. So it's:

A) at home with my 14 year old daughter, or

B) alone if she's got something else going on

My wife just knows I'm a lunatic while watching a game, and finds someplace else to be. Oddly, her fly-by check ins are a lot less frequent when we're losing.
