Have been a fun team to watch for the last several years, under DeVries.
Have been a big away from being a bracket buster type team.
I kinda like Kansas. I like the Zags cause they played a killer non conference schedule. I pull for Vandy. Finally, I pull for great games that everyone leaves it all on the court.

Teams I don't like:
Northwestern- annoying rat bastards that only serve to suck the fun out of other people's entertainment, and that goes for all sports
Gonzaga- got a little too cocky and elitist during their recent run of success under Mark Few, and he's played his part in it.
Duke- bad for CBB
Kentucky- bad for CBB
Michigan State- Izzo and all the baggage that comes with him, and their fans love him for it and have continued to this day to defend him even when it is 100% the wrong thing to do
Wisconsin- because f*** Wisconsin, that's why
Illinois- because they don't like Iowa, from their program to their fans. Illinois is the kid at school who hangs with the popular crowd and picks on a random, unsuspecting, innocent kid and makes lots of jokes that aren't really funny, but the type he hangs around with laughs anyways because they want to be in on the joke, and they do it because it makes them feel better about themselves when they're faced with their own shortcomings trying to meet the expectations of the popular crowd they hang out with..........that's Illinois, and their results speak for themselves.
Kansas- the enemy of my enemy is my enemy............much like our rivalry with Nebraska in football, all the things everyone already hates about Kansas basketball aside, including the blatant cheating that they were caught for and even had the NCAA admitting that they were guilty of and did nothing about (true story btw)..................this actually is as simple as "Nobody is allowed to bully my brother except me"
We bully Iowa State. Kansas bullies Iowa State. There can be only one bully, and we're certainly not gonna let some podunk cheating basketball school be the ones to pick on Iowa State.

So basically you’re Iowa State’s Big Brother. Only I can pick on my little brother.

There are two types of people. People who like KU, and people whose loved ones were banged by Bill Self. I hope Bill took it easy on your old lady.

So Kansas fans advocate rape as long as their coach wins them games........sheesh, that's a little extreme.
Oh no....it was definitely consensual. 🤣

Ya know, Scott Frost said the same thing to cover up for Lawrence Phillips.
Didn't realize Kansas fans had so much in common with Nebraska fans when it comes to looking the other way on legal issues...............
Hell yeah, even though they are coached by a Dukie. We used to have shirts that said, 'Show your Peayness'.
Since we now live in Kansas City, I like to root for the local D1 school, UMKC. Former New Mexico State coach Marvin Menzies has had an up-and-down first season but appears to have that program in the right direction. Might be able to take on Oral Roberts and SDSU in the Summit in a year or two.
No one specifically.
But as SOS helps in tourney seeding, I want every team on our schedule to have a good season.

Probably close to 20 schools, if I'm being honest.
Top 8 might be...
Alabama
Baylor
Arizona State
UCLA
Pittsburgh
Clemson
Xavier
Gonzaga

Haha I pick a few bandwagon teams every year. It often depends on the players and style of play. Don't know if I'm going to like Alabama every year. But, I love Brandon Miller and I love their up tempo offense.
Some teams I watch regularly because of the coaches, like Pittsburgh and Arizona State. More often than not, however, I pick a few teams that are simply entertaining to watch. Alabama is arguably the most entertaining team to watch this year. Here's what I wrote two years ago:
I'm not saying bama is not talented. I'm saying they are evil incarnate. You must surely have noticed a few new bammers on the board? Those are just the scouts, a few more wins and we will be swarmed. Your reckless comment of them being in your top 8 is like laying honey at the entrance to the board. Just sayin.
I like to watch good basketball. And it's Alabama basketball we're talking about. They've been to the 2nd weekend of the tournament just twice in the past 30 years. Their heads can't get too big in this sport.
Texas and UCLA since they’re our best wins? I guess, lol. I also always have a soft spot for Rutgers and root for them when they’re not playing the Illini.
Rutgers.
Contrast to other original Big 10 members opinion, I love there addition to the Big 10.

I am an SEC guy. I pull for any and all SEC teams whenever there is an inter-conference game.
I know that's odd, because most non-UK SEC schools fans won't pull for UK to win, even if we were playing the Taliban, but that's cool. I figure, if the SEC shows out against the other P5 conferences, it shows that UK wasn't just competing against garbage teams. The SEC used to really suck, but that has certainly changed.

No one....If I cannot be happy, no one can be. I hope everybody fukin loses.
