I have chosen in the past to NOT watch the tourney at some point because the remaining teams didn't leave me anyone to pull for (ex.: last year's final). Based on the pairings as of now, what teams would comprise your "Nightmare 8", that would make you most likely to stop watching the Dance? I'll go first.

South Region
Kansas
Arizona
(Hon. mention: UConn)

West Region
Duke (no surprise here)
Texas (no big bias, had to choose one)
(Hon. mention: Cincy, for the Pitino connection)

East Region
IU (hard choice over UNC***)
WVa
(Hon. mention: UNC***, really wanted to make them first choice, but pairings precluded them)

Midwest Region
Syracuse (shouldn't be there in the first place, Boeheim factor)
Texas Tech (had to pick someone on that side)
(Hon. mention: Michigan St., just tired of them)

Of course, there is a whole host of other teams that didn't make the list because of their conspicuous absence from the field. They shall continue to remain nameless (cough..UL..cough).

Please feel free to publish your personal biases.
