Like in football, it depends. Might end up rooting SEC a little more in basketball. Think I was rooting for Ole Miss last year. Now yall play Memphis or VCU in the tourney, I'm rooting for the Tigers or Rams.

I pretty much have the same policy: I pull for SEC teams in non-conference games in all sports with the notable exception of Auburn in the last NCG.

Sans one or two, I'll usually root for SEC teams in the tournament. It applies to all if they're playing Louisville.


Like Belle, I pull for all SEC teams sans one or two. I'm guessing one of the two might be the same. The other one is definitely different.

Sure, I pulled for that crackhead Henderson last year.

Possibly.

I wouldn't hold it against you for rooting against UK though. I think most do.

I do somewhat, and moreso since yall hired Cal from Memphis. But other than UNC, the basketball teams I hate the most will seem odd to most here. ODU, and St. Louis.
ETA:forgot to mention Kansas in the teams I hate. (No, I'm not a Mizzou fan)

My allegiance during NCAA Tourney time is to my bracket.

I've actually enjoyed the tourney more the last 2 years not doing a bracket, except for one flipping a coin. I can just sit there enjoy the games for the thrill of the whole thing without worrying about my bracket going to shite.

Such are the costs of success. I wish we had that problem.

I used to pull for some of you in football and all of you except Kentucky and bammer in bball, but since 2010 and that ridiculous Cam shite, you can all die and go smoke turds in hell.

Eh sorta. I cannot stand the 1 and done players on John Calipari's team and I hate Billy Donovan ball at Florida. Being that those 2 teams are the most constant when it comes to high seeds in the dance I guess not really

I'ld actually like to know his reason. Outside of yall's success, I can't think of a reason. Granted that doesn't mean he doesn't have a perfectly good reason, even if it does seem odd to us. We all have those things in sports.

I pull for SEC in all of the big 3 if they aren't playing LSU. I was pulling for SCAR and state in Omaha the past few years after we would get knocked out or not make it.
