Is anyone here an NCAA B'Ball fan?
in Sports
If so, let's discuss. I love pro football (college sucks) but never got into hockey or baseball so I LIVE for this time of year when pro football is more or less done and we've got NCAA Basketball and March Madness to look forward to.
I am a born & bred Marquette Warriors fan. I was conceived in the wake of the '77 Championship (not.kidding) and have followed the Blue & Gold thru thich and thin.
So! If anyone is wanting to have a friendly March Madness throw down, let me know. Nothing on the line, just some good old fashioned fun.
Re: Is anyone here an NCAA B'Ball fan?
Ditto. I prefer pro over college in every single sport - except basketball. My DH is a huge Duke fan and it's been wearing off on me for many years now. 2 summers ago we took a trip to NC just to go visit Duke/Cameron Indoor Stadium! haha. DH's favorite part of the trip was the Duke bookstore.
Too funny - I always pick Marquette to go fairly far in the tournament! DH and I also place bets each year on our brackets. I've won 4 years in a row now.

Yes, although I have been raised to strongly dislike Marquette
I am a UW fan! However when UW is out of the tournament, I cheer for Marquette, much to my husband's dismay.
I love March Madness!
Me!
As a PP said, college football is my favorite, favorite... but I also love me some college basketball. I'm an Oklahoma State fan (obviously). There are some teams in the East the I like... but I don't really have a preference of one over the other.
I love college basketball. I have been a Duke fan since high school (my basketball coach told us to watch college games to try and learn from it. Duke was on a lot, so I became a fan).
Going to grad school at Duke only made me more of a fan. I also follow the Duke women's team now. I think Cameron Indoor is one the best venues in the game. Let's Go Duke and Go to Hell Carolina! DH went to Georgia Tech, so we are definitely and ACC household.
I have been to a few women's events, a few Final Fours and few ACC tournaments. We also went to first/second round games last year. I probably pay more attention than DH, but we are both fans.
I'm a Louisville fan who actually attended the University of Kentucky, a very rare breed. Since moving to Phoenix 10 years ago, I have to fly home to Louisville every March to watch the tournament because it's more exciting to watch there. However my team is in sorry shape this year after losing Earl Clark and Terrence Williams to the NBA. And Rick Pitino and his extracurricular activities have distracted the team quite a bit this season. Looks like we'll be lucky to even make the tournament this year after some embarrassing losses to sub-par teams.
I'll be around during March Madness, I just may have to find another team to cheer for. Most likely it will be the one who is playing UK.
Cinnabun and Junebug say, "Go Wildcats!"
I don't think we can be friends anymore...haha

Why don't you come to the UK side? You know we're better! haha

I actually find this a little sad. Do you support Kentucky in other things? Did you not like going to school there?
My first love is NCAA football...but a close second is NCAA basketball. Especially when it comes to conference play...this time of the year is fantastic. Can't wait for March Madness.
When brackets come out, I'm so down for having a March Madness Nestie Challenge.
This is why I always have and always will hate Christian Laettner.

Interesting mix!
Also fun to see a few UW fans come out. I have a friend who's used to be an assistant of their team.... and a few family members who came out of the UW system (all of them also have MU degrees as well. ha!).
I think MU will be lucky to make NIT at this point, but I am following the rest of the teams closely. I haven't lost a bracket challenge in 10 years yet. Woot!
