Simple question. I was just thinking about it, there's no team I consistently root for to do well outside of UK. There will be teams I come to like because of how they play, who's on the team, the coach, etc., but it changes year-to-year.

I don't have a 2nd favorite team. I do however root for Miami(OH), Xavier, Wright St, Eastern Michigan, and UD(Dayton) if they are in the NCAAT. Not UC or Ohio State, though.

I always liked to see UVA do well unless we played them. I always respected Tony Bennett (even more when he retired rather than deal with NIL crapshow).

I went to UK, Arizona, WVU, then Ohio State and I couldn’t give a **** about anyone outside of UK lol. Was at WVU when they beat our John Wall team so I actually root against them and I’m still stuck around OSU fans that I find obnoxious so I actually root against them as well tbh

Yes Mercer. One kid graduated from there and half a freshman there. Both cheered there. Now if they were playing Kentucky even my kids would be cheering for Kentucky

Graduated from Purdue. Go Boilers!
I can in this to a point. It’s according where you graduated from I suppose. Example/ Duke, UofL ext. while I would certainly be proud of my degree/degrees, I could never pull for the athletics programs. Purdue is a great school and do great things for kids.

Pope is going to make me pick a new team to root for. College basketball just isn’t as fun anymore under him

Not really.

I root for Kentucky.
I root against our enemies and other blue bloods.
I root against teams we're competing against for seeding in the NCAA tournament.

I root for upsets in the NCAA tournament.
I root for my bracket as the tournament progresses, unless I picked someone in the enemy/blue blood list to win.

Yes, but it’s not on the level of fandom as UK.

I am a WKU alum, so I also pull for the Hilltoppers. But it’s a lower level in all sports and I don’t get upset when they lose and/or suck.

If WKU wins that day, sweet! If they lose, oh well. Maybe next time! It’s like that.

I do not have a secondary high major team.

I went to EKU, so if I happen to hear about them purely by accident I will hope they win, but won’t even put in effort to follow the team (because I don’t actually care). I might watch another game during the NCAA tournament if it is on before a Kentucky game, but otherwise watch zero sports of any kind other than Kentucky.
