UConn fans rooting for?

[QDOG5]

Did you watch Tiger yesterday? He brought back a lot of excitement. Fans love him.

It's great to have Tiger back. I hope he stays healthy. I picked Paul Casey for the win this week so Woods' putt on 17 put the fear of Tiger in me. I thought his 2 iron off the tee at 18 was not Tiger like. He didn't need to hit driver but definitely should have hit 3 wood. The 2 iron left him 185 out to a tough pin. The club choice made me think he's not totally confident yet. I was the only guy in my league to pick Casey. It's difficult for me to type this and pat myself on the back at the same time.

I the Mark Few's dogs have gotten close too many times. I think think the Zags will finally cut down the nets this year.

There are several teams that can both win the tourney and have it vacated in a few years.

The AAC
VA, now their D reminds me of Jim Calhoun
any midmajor

 

[gtcam]

I' m going with UVA, Houston and the Zags - in no particular order
Puke, Kensucky, Cuse, PeeCee, UNC, Zona, Cincinnati and URIne are the teams I say NO WAY
Would love to see a 1 or 2 lose their 1st game to make things interesting but not UVA

Providence? What the hell is wrong with some of you people?

Exactly. Ed owns the Northeast now. This needs to change ASAP.

No one steal my Cinderella— Loyola Chicago. 28 wins. 10 in a row. Smothering defense. Tough veteran team. Middling ACC teams tend to seem disinterested in the first round of the tournament and I think 6 seed Miami is a fantastic matchup for them.

Disclaimer: I’m sure that lots and lots of people feel the same way as me.

I'm rooting for the Pantoni Tiles.

You see I'm a ceiling fan.

I think he mishit that tee shot. Looked like he steered it.

Loyola-Chicago was pretty good in the early-mid 60s. They even scooped up Doug Wardlow, Wilbur Cross AA, back then.

Don't we want URI to lose in the first round to get serious negotiations started quickly and avoid Hurley becoming the hottest coach in the country by making an improbable run?

I would rather he show something in the tournament to see what he is really made of.

 

[2PointGuards]

Cincy?
Houston?
Providence?

Rhode Island!

 

[manbyrd]

AAC teams for sure. Then whichever random school (that I've never heard of) that won their conference (that I've barely heard of) championship. Go Lipscomb Bisons.

One NCAA win in his life and he owns the Northeast?

UPENN- I'm an IVY league alum

 

[willie99]

Villanova

a couple of year's ago they were the cute kids on the block, now they're making me envious

hope they're out early

 

[UC990411]

Am I the only boneyarder that hates Cinci with a burning passion? Why them? Don’t you root for players and coaches you like?

 

[Hankster]

Hard to root for Rob Gray I will be honest. But while playing I will think of the conference and more than likely lean their way.

Cincy is a yes but at a 2 seed I expect them to fall short of that billing, hope I'm wrong.

PC when this starts I have no issues rooting for them I will be quite honest, fans aside I like their team and feel they can make a run. Just keep Cooley there, I'm not interested for our job too many familiar finishes for them too.

Anyone playing teams that do not deserve to be there such as Nevada over Texas, URI (also because of NE team) over a very undeserving Oklahoma team, Az State (hardly deserving but more so that the Orange) and VaTech over Bama (15 losses is too many I don't care about the wins or Sexton).

Rooting for Trae Young to go 5 for 23.

Rooting for Loyola Chi, Buffalo and South Dakota State and so many other underdogs. Gut feeling it will be a very interesting Thursday-Friday start with many more than expected upsets.

Honesty goes a long way. Something about Gray I just don't like. Let's say I don't care for. It does bother me being a senior adult and feeling this way about a kid. However, can't help it. Of course I am behind the conference. Cincy is a good team. Seems like Cronin is the one who is disliked. Just like football. Giants fan since I could crawl up to the TV. However, I did root for the Eagles. Seems like the first year for me that I haven't spoke of the selections.

 

[Fairfield_1st]

I root for all the AAC schools. The better they do, the better for the perception of the conference. I also root for any school in New England that makes it except for BCU. I root for upsets when possible. Lastly, I root against BCU, Puke, UNCheat, Syracuse & Kentucky every time they play.

 

[jibsey]

UB Bulls and University of Tennessee Volunteers, and obviously anyone who can beat Carolina, Duke, Cuse etc.

 

[John]

WSU, the Pitt of the AAC?

 

[UconnFanDC]

Uconn WB

 

[WvConn]

The West Virginia maintaineers baby!!

Truth is I went to West Virginia and I transferred to UConn so I love the Eers and the Huskies.
