In a vacuum, who do you root for in these rivalries?

[MGC_07]

If the game between 2 teams has no players you like and has no impact on your team, what team or brand do you generally pull for in these rivalries.

Duke/UNC
UK/Louisville
Purdue/Indiana
Michigan/Michigan State
Florida/Florida State


I bolded the teams I root for generally.

 

[Original_Irish]

UNC
Louisville
Purdue
MSU
Florida State
Don’t really have an opinion on KU vs KSU

Kansas/Kansas State

Man, that first game is hard to pick. I genuinely feel like my rooting interest depends on the year for Duke and Carolina. Some Duke teams are easier to like than others, same with UNC. I'll give it my best.

Duke/UNC
UK/Louisville
Purdue/Indiana
Michigan/Michigan State
Florida/Florida State
Kansas/Kansas State

We are pretty close, OP. I cheer for Florida over FSU just because they are conference family members.

Duke/UNC is tough because there is typically a little brother and big brother in rivalries. But they are both Big Brothers.

Yup. Like I had no problems with Duke's Zion team. Had no issues with UNC's last title team. Totally depends on the year for me. This year I'll probably cheer for UNC since they suck more.

 

[ExitFlagger]

Even I don't care about KU/K-State.

I thought the better rivalry for you guys would have been Missouri personally but I didn't want to pretend I knew what I was talking about.

 

[MGC_07]

Even I don't care about KU/K-State.

I’ll take it off. I saw it ranked highly on some rivalry lists and surprised me.

Missouri would be a better option, even if they haven't played regularly for awhile.

Duke/UNC - Grew up in Chapel Hill, hate Duke
UK/Louisville - UK meltdowns are hilarious
Purdue/Indiana - Don't care but I respect Purdue from Elite 8 matchup and want them to do well
Michigan/Michigan State - MSU owns us but Michigan fans are all elitist arrogant pricks
Florida/Florida State - Did my PHD there

 

[Original_Irish]

Can’t wait for the UCLA/Gonzaga rivalry to be added to these names.

The battle for West Coast supremacy!

Likewise brother. I’ll always cheer for Iowa over any team in the BIG.

My man. I just wish we had something to cheer about. And honestly, UL and UK is a toss up. I just picked UK because I hate Indiana, lol.

Indiana is their bitch. Lol

Villian, are you a UL fan? Did you just take a shot at UT's mascot?

He did. Shots fired.

I’ve never understood this. Has college basketball sucked the last 20 years?
