Which Team(s) Will You Root for in the NCAA Tourney?
Our Tigers will spend post-season at home and thus I will adopt teams to increase my interest in March Madness.

I will follow SMU and Cincy because they are in our conference and the Zags because they are fun to watch and are saddled by the nonsensical "weak conference" tag that is familiar to Tiger fans.

Well it won't be the Tigers for the third year in a row.

Probably no one. Will flip around and watch close games. Will root against Duke, Kansas, North Carolina, SMU and Cincinnati.

I've never understood the rooting for a Conference rival to do well in a the tournament of Bowl game. No Tiger fan should ever pull for a conference rival, UT, Ole Miss, or Louisville. Kansas and Kentucky should be taboo. That being said, I typically pull for all underdogs.

Well, in basketball, every game an AAC team wins means more money for US & our conference mates. Plus, it raises the profile and perception of the conference. So, to wish for our conference rivals to flame out in the first round makes ZERO sense.

This may not be a popular choice, but I think I would like to see Bob Huggins get a ring before he retires. He was easy to hate back in the day, but his love, respect and support of Larry Finch was touching.
