What CBB fan base do you have tons of respect for?

That is exactly what they do in RI
Not “exactly”, two points. They have the cities name on their chest and before they became yuppie they spent 60+ years as a school for blue collar kids from RI. That’s why the school was started by the Dominicans, to serve underprivileged young men in Providence and RI. That is why it’s in the states fabric passed down generationally instead of URI. That and they won.
 
I've spoken to a bunch of IU bball fans over the years and have usually found that they are good people with which to talk hoops. Usually a knowledgeable fan base, rarely dismissive or condescending and quite complementary of our program. Also, I feel a kinship to them as the school's bball program is always a huge source of pride for the state.

I'm interested to see what y'all say.
Clemson, a fun bunch, really good fans and polite and respectful, for the most part, to visitors. Of course they feel their team will destroy you so it is easy to be decent. Worse fans I ever saw were West Virginia. I felt I was lucky to get out of their stadium just slightly bloodied.
 
The only fan base that I have any respect for is the fan base that roots for the defending national champion UConn Huskies.
I agree 100 percent. I may be a singular being but when I speak, I feel like I’m representing all of us. We or me is definitely the most respected fan base ever.
 
What did they win exactly?
More games than URI. @FriarJ didn't say it, but RI is unique in that there is no place in it more than an hour from Providence. It's a city-state.

Not that you give 2 craps, so I’m not sure why I’m bothering but I was referring to the 60’s and 70’s when they became the state’s team. This was a discussion I was having with @Yardigan as I took exception to his characterization of PC fans being like Duke fans.

Ah, they won games in the 60s and 70s. That's nice.

As I suspected, nothing of substance or relevance to what my post was about. Just trolling.

What? I asked what Providence "won" and you advised me that it was some games in the 60s and 70s. I think that's very nice for you.

(So, in your opinion, a PC fan coming on a Connecticut board to brag about PC is being trolled by Husky fans? Interesting take.)

Listen, I’m very sorry I engaged you. it went exactly as I expected. Let’s carry on with our days and just end this nonsense. Later.

If Kim English is good and you get good solid point guard play I think Providence has a chance to be really good this season, like Sweet 16 good.

Well, those certainly are the question marks and what is keeping them down in any pre-season rankings. Looking forward to finding out what we have in those two areas. Can’t remember a coach coming into the BE more of an unknown in many years. Probably since Rick Barnes. PC has taken a massive gamble, which is interesting because they have shown they can afford top 10 coaches pay. The AD seems certain that he’s got the right guy. We will all find out together.

Really, I think they have as good a chance anyone.

Lol I just wasn't sure what Providence had won. Thank you for clarifying.
