Drroogh Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Since IU is not in the tourney, who are you rooting for? As for me, I have been an IU fan first and always! But after endearing decades of the East Coast Bias and recently the SEC bias, I will root for the BIG! Yes, even Purdue. After that, I will root for the underdog!! For me, I'm going with Michigan, after all I lived 17 years in MI. How about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlinedavid Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Murray State Only program in the state of Kentucky worth rooting for that has a snowballs chance. Edit: That and Morant is unreal. Name should be Jah Morant. Edit 2: Guess I'll throw a bone to Northern Kentucky as well, given that my wife has 2 degrees from there. Although they don't meet the "snowballs chance" criteria. Edit 3: And Wofford. I own a Boston Terrier. Edit 4: $&%# it. Anyone but UK or Purdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosier8760 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Can’t stand the big ten. Was hoping like hell Michigan st would’ve lost. Just like football, when other big ten teams do well it hurts us. If we were top dawg of either sport it might be different...but until then I could care less what other big ten schools do. I will laugh my butt off if purdue gets beat tonight. Im rooting for Murray state and I was rooting like hell for Belmont. And all the other underdogs.

Just seems if the BIG is bad it makes IU even worse!! Not necessarily anti-. But if other teams get more exposure and do well in the tournament it helps with their recruiting. Which, in turn, helps them beat us and keep us down in conference, the conference tournament, and the last few years has kept us from the NCAA tournament. If a few other big ten teams were worse this year WE would be in the tournament...I can’t root for teams who continually beat us and keep us down.

Inequality Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 I want to root for a B1G team so maybe the B1G will get some respect. I just can’t get into the vibe with other teams. So, what I will root for is swift elimination of the ESPN love affairs in the ACC and SEC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 In Florida with my brother sand sister in law from the Twin Cities. Rooting for the Gophs. Maybe Wofford. N Dakota State Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd726 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 If I decide to pay attention (no IU so really couldn't care less) I will probably be rooting for whoever plays PU and Duke, and maybe some really low seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 I mostly root for Big Ten teams to get to the Sweet Sixteen so the conference doesn’t look bad, but I can’t imagine wanting another Big Ten team to win a championship. That baffles my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierfan1215 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Anyone but Ohio state, Purdue and Kentucky. Once they are all done I will enjoy the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierMama Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Tonight I’m rooting for Syracuse, Michigan Wofford and Old Dominion. My 7 year old is 12 for 12 right now and she has those 4 teams winning tonight. She would be so happy if she woke up and found out her bracket was still perfect. Overall I’m with the anyone but Purdue, Kentucky, Duke, MSU crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
