    Syracuse Orange. A great history, along with an entertaining bunch of young kids, and the greatest point guard in the NCAA.

    But...they run the 2-3 zone, and are coached by Boeheim. Personally, I love the zone and the coach, but I know some people have beef

    UCLA. I just randomly chose them 3 years ago and they haven't disappointed. Ben Howland's done an awesome job with that program.

    I think everyone hates Duke. They're pretty lame.


    GTown is gettin Greg Monroe. I hate Gtown, but they're a good option, with getting the top recruit and all.

    Also, if you like Lil Romeo, USC is picking him up. [​IMG]

    Seriously, Syracuse is great to watch
    IMO become a fan of the BIG EAST (minus Louisville)
    I'm a HUGE Jayhawk fan, and they are awesome because they play ball where no one scores 20 per game but 7 score 10 per game.

    Werd. Cal Bears are my favorite team but they're not usually that good. Other teams I tend to like watching; Texas, NC State, Syracuse, Pitt, Gonzaga, St. Mary's (Moraga) now that they're good, Oklahoma St., Villanova, USC, BC

    Teams that I love to hate; Stanford, Duke, UCLA, Ohio State.

    I generally just love to watch individual players though. Since my favorite team is usually mediocre I become fans of different teams in different years based on who is on the roster.

    I was thinking UCLA, and Syracuse. Johnny Flynn is pretty good.

    Clemson had Larry Nance and Tree Rollins. Those guys were awesome!

    They may eventually beat Duke, you never know.

    They are also 0 for Chapel Hill so if you become a fan you can be a part of that without having had to suffer the hundred losses.

    The coach is Oliver Purnell, who is the coolest coach anywhere and has a killer mix on his homepage. Coach K don't have that shit!

    root for a local team in a major conference.

    If you want to go to a lot of games, root for a Div III team.

    I like Canadians a little. I really like one. I talk to Canadians on another forum. We always
    called them crawzy canadians.

    Cal State Fullerton. Go Titans!
    (if it wasn't obvious, I'm currently a student there)

    Non-bias response: UCLA
    (Okay, so there's a SoCal bias)
