Michigan State where I was before I went back to St. John's. Unfortunately, they have to get through Duke in Elite 8.
 
I'll root for Hall & Nova first....

Oddly, I have a soft spot for Hall back to the Carlisemo years we had Malik Sealy. Used to like watching Terry Dehere, Arturas Karnishovas, Hurley etc.

Marquette I'm indifferent to but will be good for conference if they win.
 
My son graduated from Purdue. So, since I provided that institution with 4 years of tuition money...Boiler Up!!!
 
Nova with my heart. With one of my brackets, the Tar Heels - also Luke Maye is a local kid from the town over from me. With my other bracket and also with my heart the Zags.
Since my last name is Murray, I always root for the Murray State Racers to take a game or two.

Yeah, I'm rooting for Murray State as well (Ja Morant being a local kid). I forgot to mention Murray State earlier. I'm rooting for Wofford because they're a (home)state school. I kinda root for Zion Williamson, because he's from my state, but I can't root for Duke (or the Tar Heels).

Other than those things occurring, then I don't really much care what happens.
 
I root for the Big East although Wojo is not my favorite.
I root against the ACC, particularly Duke and the former Big East schools.
I root for Gonzaga and any other team from conferences that get two bids or less
I root against schools that go after lot of kids we "try" to recruit.
I root against the AAC.
If a football school has to win I prefer the Big 10 except Minnesota and Ohio State and then the Big 12 except Kansas and Texas Tech because of Owens. If it has to be an ACC or SEC team, I prefer schools that don't win as often like Tennessee or Virginia Tech.
I root against the Pac 10 because I don't like any of the coaches

Now after SJU's awful showing and the awful showing of the rest of the Big East, I have pretty much lost interest, except for the bracket pools and a Last Man Standing pool I'm in.

The ranking of Marquette seemed overstated with their terrible game against Murray State.

Same for the Hall, although this Wofford looks real.

Forget about our game, the more I think about it, the angrier I get.

ASU was trying to give the game to us and we were not able to take it. Damn
 
I guess im just cheering for Nova or not going to watch the NCAA"S any more when there gone.........

Luckily they are an easy program to root for. I think they are always likable and do things the right way with player development.

So glad to be wrong as usual! What a game.
