Who Is Your Adopted Team for March Madness?

Never with that cheating blow hard as a coach, anyone else coaching I'd agree.

For me in AAC only WSU maybe. The other 2 between Cronin and Rob Gray UH no way. I say that now but if they are underdogs I will change accordingly.

UVA I like but can't stand games in the 50's, Xavier, Butler, Creighton I like but not a BE fan these days. URI most certainly they are New England. If a Kansas State, Texas or Ok State makes it maybe. I think ultimately you have to wait for the match ups in the first round then decide who your team will be as you see the potential match ups from there on in.

It's still fun to watch the Madness but man it sucks not having skin in the game expect a few pools. Huskies need to get back to normal or at least somewhat normal. I know what that takes I get it!;)
 
Villanova. Jay Wright’s a fantastic coach who gets the most out of his players, not only because he recruits the right players to fit his style of game.

I miss the Big East.

Anyone playing against URI, The IVY league champs since I m a league alum

Love to see Xavier make the final four one of these years. Nice program that seems over achieve year in and year out.

Have you watched us play this year?? I hope I am wrong and this post has the mojo of Maker’s Muppet, but I’m not betting anything of value on it.
 
Michigan State and Gonzaga. Tom Izzo is one of the greatest coaches in the game. Skill development is one of his greatest traits. Develops his players each year. Mark Few can fall into that same range. Turns a small school into a mid-major power and now that mid-major power is a consistent top 15 power in the nation. Often pushing some of the major powers in games.
 
URI. My dad went there, I considered going there, have followed the program for years.
Go Rams.
I’d also root for the Ivy rep, which looks like it will be Penn.
Also whoever plays Duke in the first round.

Wichita State. A very likable team that plays Geno Ball. Legit final four contender.

They can be a lot of fun to watch - love watching Wichita and Nova play.

Haven't seen enough of Wichita, but I've really liked watching Nova play for the past several years despite my irrational hatred of the school. That's how I know they must be good, because it's almost akin to me saying I enjoy watching BC or 'Cuse, which I have never said in my life.

This might seem strange but my adopted team is in Division 3. My son goes to Hamilton College and last year I watched a few of their games and they were pretty good but missed the NCAA Tournament. Their best players were all freshmen and sophomores and I thought their best player was a freshman who didn't even start. So after the season was over I told all my son's friends that they were going to the NCAA Tournament this season. They haven't done that since 2004 so it wasn't an easy prediction.

They're now 22-3 and in the semifinals of the NESCAC Tournament (winner gets an automatic bid), ranked 15th in the country (probably will be higher on Monday) and looking like a lock for the Division 3 NCAA Tournament. That freshman who didn't start last year is now their leading scorer.

So in this awful season for UConn I at least have a team to follow and root for that is a good story. Not exactly the same kind of stakes as Division 1 but it's been kind of fun to follow them.

Hamilton is a strong D-3 program.

And I LOVE this Nova team, I can’t hate them. I love Brunson maybe more than any player in the country.

St. Mary’s. Ollie take a lesson
 
Final 4 of these 6: Auburn, Arizona, OK State, USC, Miami, L'Ville........the all FBI Final 4! Ofcourse many other schools may be included in FBI probe but these we know for sure.
 
Despite a couple of WTF losses Nova is the best team in the country, IMO. It would be weird having them win their third but I love northeast hoops and I like seeing the all basketball schools do well, plus Jay Wright is a good dude.
 
I'd love to see Rhody win it all. Otherwise, a final four of Rhody plus three major programs that are forced to vacate their appearance....
 
Arizona because I went to high school with one of their walk ons. Also probably have to root for AAC teams to go as far as possible
