Never subscribed to that. I only root against the teams that I can't stand! Everyone else gets ambivalence.

And my team is effectively a nonparticipant, you don't have conference rivals when you barely field a team!

Yeah, I'll pull for dern near any ACC team in the tournament.

Teams that need not apply: Carolina, Miami.

I mean, that was the prevailing rule around these parts when I was growing up. Pull for everybody except for that one team.

When Illinois was good, my rules were:

* root for all the B1G teams in the first round so the conference doesn't look bad
* except Indiana and Iowa, because fuck 'em
* once you're in the S16, gtfo
* unless we're way better than you and still in the tourney, in which case you're not going to win anyway so feel free to live it up (this only happened twice, but it was fun)
 
I hate all the other teams in the ACC and I root for them to lose as quickly as possible in the NCAA tournament.

A perfect tournament is UNC winning and that so that only we look good.
 
Holy shit.

In the final 30 seconds in the Utah/Cal game:

THREE lead changes and then a BUZZER BEATER to tie it and send it to OT.



This IS the best day in the history of the sport. Just wow.

I can't decide if ND or Miami is becoming the new Maryland to me. ND just doesn't deserve the record they have against us and its been a benefit of timing more than anything else. Miami's team is chock full of pompous assholes.

As far as the ACC goes, everyone in the conference (and country) hates Duke so fuck 'em all, I'm not rooting for them. In the NCAA tourney I'll root for the team that is either going to give UNC (and sometimes UK, though I don't hate them) an embarrassing loss or the one that is most interesting (and doesn't have some irrational ax to grind vs my team). That 2008 Final Four game between KU and UNC is my all time favorite non Duke beatdown of UNC ever. Granted, it probably helped spark the 09 run, but still....it was worth it.

EDIT: 65-28? How does that shit happen?
 
Jamal Murray with another 27 whew.

I wonder how good he'll be in the league. Kinda small for a 2 guard and not a great defender, but he's an incredible scorer.

Virginia, you lose this game and you're out of the league.

Out of the league? Props to UNC winning a well deserved game but...

UVA only lost by 4 after not scoring for 8 minutes. Six McDonald All Americans on UNC versus none for UVA and it was a close game with UVA shooting horribly. It's not even like they got bad looks. They got plenty of open looks that they just completely missed. It was UVA's game to lose and they lost it. I do like UVA because they can play against perception and they always play till the very end. I can't wait to see what Bennett does with the All Americans he gets next year. He's great at turning good players into great players and next year's recruits can shoot. UVA's greatness is here to stay, and I think they'll only get better.

At least UNC played ND and got some good rest though. Now it's UVA's time to rest for the NCAA.

It was, in reality, a great game by both teams. UVA just had their worst shooting percentage all season in the end, and that sloppiness cost them the game. Both teams could win it all.

it looks like they've flipped the switch.

they're selling out on defense now. i haven't seen UNC play this tight of defense in all of Roy's tenure.

Proud of the toughness and defensive intensity from the boys over the past week. Great wins. Got that 1 seed locked now.

So does the ACC tourney championship now mean something to you guys? Cause for years it didn't, you know. ;P

Carolina looking like they finally figured it out?

It's gonna be hard living outchea if (lol when) Duke goes out first weekend and UNC wins a chip.

I'm still not sold on them yet. They certainly have the pieces to do it but I still think they have a weakness with guard play and overall perimeter defense. I don't know if they've played a team thats really challenged them in that way. Still, they made a good run through the ACC tourney, but so did Duke in 06.

I'm not worried about Duke getting bounced 1st weekend. Next season isn't very far away.
 
At the end of the day at least Duke didn't go to the NIT.

Hanging my hat for this season on that.

Also, it's over for ya mans Pitino.

Breaking via @OTLonESPN: At least 3 Louisville hoops recruits confirmed sex, stripper parties to NCAA investigators:
 
That was awesome. Murray and Ulis are so good.

We're somehow going to be a top 16 seed and we're ranked #1 on KenPom for offense all because of Murray and Ulis.

It's a shame this is the worst group of interior players Calipari's had at UK. Like by far the worst. Nerlens Noel alone on the NIT team was a million times better than all the bigs combined this year.
