Who's your adopted tourney team?

[BoatShow]

VCU
Georgetown
New Mexico

Teams i wish i could root for:

Marquette- I think Buzz Williams is a great coach right up to the last 2 minutes at which point he often falls apart.

St. Louis - don't have the athletes and play old man basketball

for some reason that really appeals to me

 

[Calhoun's Court]

I cant watch them play without wanting to rip Dellavedova's face off.

If he played for us you would love him. I can easily see opponents not liking him. But he is a tough down and dirty player.

 

[zls44]

Jim Crews is un-trustable in a big spot.

 

[rw005]

Top 3:

Miami
VCU
Kansas

 

[Stinger92860]

I want to cincy exit early, sorry but the world has changed. Any mid is who I will root for.

 

[Vowelguy]

The America 12 and any team that shows you can succeed without a strong conference behind it.

 

[PRHusky]

I think it would be great for our soon to be named conference if Temple or Memphis won, so I am rooting for them. But they aren't making it to the Sweet 16 barring extremely favorable matchups.

 

[CTBasketball]

No one.

But for one thing, Miami will crumble before the Elite 8.

 

[huskyharry]

Indiana (took a course there three years ago), Zaga, SDSU (no chance to do well this year...reckless style of play... But I' did get an MPH from SDSU), anyone playing Dook, Syrabuse or Kensucky (hopefully they won't make it)

 

[Jerry1714]

Whoever I have in my bracket.

St. Louis is the real deal

 

[NotADimeBack]

Iowa state, Butler, VCU sleepers/underdogs like that

 

[BugsyCT]

America 12 teams
Gonzaga
UNLV
VCU
any other mid-majors or little conference teams
anyone who is playing against the old BE

 

[storrsroars]

I'll also pull for Cincy if they're in.

If Lundardi current projection came true (it won't), Cincy would be looking good - more or less all home games to the FF (they'd get Indiana in Dayton, then GTown or Florida in Indy).

 

[cryjeremiah]

1. Gonzaga - especially this year with John Stockton's kid and the Olynyk.
2-5. Baylor, New Mexico, Butler, VCU - no real reason.

 

[RM99]

Michigan State. Makes UConn look good.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Kansas Jayhawks. I'm pretty lucky that way.

But a reminder to folks rooting against the Big East, we will get $ from their tournament shares.

 

[ucp990411]

Who cares, I will not watch a game. The NCAA screws us and you support them?

 

[JSB60]

My dirty secret is that I love college basketball no matter who's playing and I'll watch every game. Still, recent developments have given me a hate list longer than Nixon's. Sad, because I used to root for any Big East team not named Notre Dame.

So who can I root for?

Anyone seeded 14 and below
Iowa State (parents' school)
Georgetown (wife's school)
Michigan State (Izzo)
St. Louis (you had me at old man basketball)

 

[Alum86]

New Mexico

Bryan Lord:
Love the Lobos pick. Yes. They beat us while Warde was ordering Margaritas and UL snaked us outta the ACC.
Love the Bill Butcher avatar more. great movie that damn well shoulda rec'd the Oscar.

 

[tzznandrew]

Teams I can't root for on principle:
Duke
Kentucky
Syracuse

Can't root for teams who will equal or move ahead of us in National Championships:
Louisville
Kansas
Michigan State
Cincinnati

Can't root for teams that we recruit heavily against:
UNC

Generally, that means I can pull for teams have way more titles than us that aren't UK, KU, UNC, Duke, which includes only UCLA and IU.

Or teams that can't tie or pass us.

My preference is for teams like Butler, VCU, Gonzaga, New Mexico, etc.

 

[progrocks]

IU, I went their for grad school. That also means I am cheering against Ville in the finals because I want IU to be in the Midwest, where they should sail to the FF.

 

[John]

Lord of The Flies Scenario with the Big East and ACC, then a meteor strikes the last two teams standing.

 

[Richmondhsky]

VCU, they're fun to watch.

VCU = UCONN early Big East defensively

 

[Dooley]

None. I haven't watched a single second of the Big East Tournament and I won't watch a single second of the NCAA Tournament either. I hold grudges. World Baseball Classic and Spring Training baseball for me these days.

 

[swami7774]

VCU = UCONN early Big East defensively

1990 -style?
