Kentucky because the squid has been getting away with under the table assistance from World Wide Wes with impunity for years...and the NCAA doesn't seem to care.
I also dislike Dook of course but I don't see them being a threat to win it all this year.
Syracuse is a great team but it would be horrible to see a program that systematically enabled the second ranking member of their staff to molest young boys for years, then conduct a weak, CYA motivated investigation several years back that they entirely keep out of the press and even now accept NO responsibility for what they did, get rewarded with a national title...after two weeks nary a peep about this in the press...DISGUSTING!

I root for UCONN.
Then, all the mid majors.
Then, Texas (though I am against their entry this year-ha!).
Then, Clemson (not in it this year).
I basically root against all of the premier programs.
I actually like Boeheim, not so much the ''idea of Syracuse."
And strangely enough, I've started to like Coach K over Roy. Not sure why . . . .

Puke. It's only that. Really. It's the only school I truly hate. I thought their last run to the finals (09?) was a fluke that was caused by an undeserved 1 seed, a very weak field, and favorable venues. I think their coach gets waaaay too much credit, and the "4 national titles" is much of the reason. They get another one, and idiots like Vitale will be saying they're the best program ever.
While I dislike Cal, I like his players - they are clearly the best team in the nation. Them winning would be sucky, but wouldn't really bother me.
I'd like to see Syracuse win if we don't. I've always liked their style of play and I like the coach.
After that I really don't care, but I'd prefer no ACC.

Boston College once they reinstate their Division 1 basketball program.
Until then its probably Kentucky. People have forgotten how really bad their fanbase is since they haven't won a championship in a bunch of years but they are insufferable beyond anyone else's fanbase when they actually do win........

They are annoying, but the icing on the cake is Calamari. The coach I despise more than any other.
Kentucky and then Syracuse. I have never been one of those "lets root for people in the same conference" types and now that they are leaving the Big East I hope that many others feel the same. I would consider it a great tournament if neither of them makes the final four.
Im splitting hairs between Cuse and Kentucky I wont say Duke because they have a very small chance. I live in Western Mass and have to deal with some annoying Cuse fans, I am able to have good conversations with their fans at least, some of them were rooting for us when we played Kentucky in the FF because they cant stand Calipari, while some of them dont like JC they at least respect him, they did put up some get well signs of JC so while they can be annoying they at least have some class and respect the game.

Arguing over who broke up the Big East, it was the schools that voted against Penn State joining in 1982. No way, Pitt, West Virginia, Syracuse and even BC leave a football conference with Penn State in it.
As to who I don't want to win it all:
1. Kentucky
2. Duke

dook has no chance of winning whatsoever. Is there a more useless player, when not making 3's, than Ryan Kelly? He's an nonathletic slow POS oaffy jumpshooter, and nothing else.
I'll root against dook the whole tourney, but I'm scared to death that the squid breaks through this year.

That said, I thought they had no chance in 2010, and lucked into a ridiculously easy bracket. They trounced WVU (somehow--still stuns me), and then got Butler in the title game. They won the title in a year that Syracuse and Kentucky were clearly the best two teams.
Trust me, I'm afraid that this Duke team will win the title. You never know.
That being said, I'd pick Duke over UK.

Coach K is a respectable guy so even though a lot of players on their team repulse me, I wouldn't go crazy over a Duke ship.
Calipari on the other hand is the biggest piece of scum in the coaching fraternity and I would hate to see him win it all. Can you imagine Coach K ever going around saying "Other teams don't want to beat us, they want to be us" like Calipari has.

Maybe it's just me but I get physically ill when watching Duke,and the camera pans to particularly privileged sports families like The Hills and The Rivers gloating in the stands as they observe their spawn. This is not to mention the constant shilling by the sports networks for them. I don't get how Kentucky even compares to that.

Syracuse. I hope they get beat in the first round. If they don't I hope they lose to an ACC team on a controvertial foul at the buzzer...might as well get used to getting jocked by the real ACC schools.
I would love to see Duke play Cuse this year. I would get to watch Fab Melo run near a Plumlee on one end only to have both fall to the floor as if shot (double flops).
