Adding another team to my NCAA rooting list
Rooting for:

Duke
Tennessee
UNI
Every Big Ten team but Illinois
Any team playing one of my root-against teams

Rooting against:

Syracuse
Kansas
Kentucky
Illinois (even in the NIT)

And today's new addition to the root-against list: Butler. I have nothing against the current players or coaches at Butler, but for what that program has inflicted on Iowa, they're going to be on my root-against list for the foreseeable future. Every time they win an NCAA game, we'll have to hear more about how "the system works"--as though that had anything to do with the train wreck at Iowa.

Re: Adding another team to my NCAA rooting list
I look at Butler like OSU....they have talent...Hayward is listed on mock NBA drafts as a late first rounder..Howard and Mack are good players...any system will work with proper talent.
I will not root for or against them...unless they play a Big Ten team.

My list:

Root for:
All big ten cept Illini.
Tenn.
UNI
NM
Root against:
Duke
Ky
Syracuse
ND

I like Dairese Gary of New Mexico...tough pg...so shoot me.

Why another roots for Duke is beyond me.

I will root this year and this year only for Duke. Jon Scheyer is a legend! People can hate him all they want, but the kid was something fun to watch!

I don't resent people for being successful.

Re: Adding another team to my NCAA rooting list
I like the video about Scheyer hawkbball. Not a Duke fan, but enjoy watching him play. He is a really smart player.

Root for list:
Big 10
UNI
Cuse
Villanova

Against:
NM (Alford)
Kentucky (Callipari has to be paying his recruits)
Old Dominion (Their coach is a look alike of Ron Jeremy and made me dislike him during bracket buster against UNI for other reasons)
