I will open it up. Yale for me, but a big gap behind Rutgers.No other Big Ten team for me.

When i was a teenager I loved the Tyler Hansborough Tar Heels. I also really liked Nevada the couple years they had the Martin twins. I kinda root for VCU now since my buddy is a VCU fan, but I can't really find a 2nd team I really enjoy, I always try and find a good mid major.

Only RU mens/womens for me.

Love watching other B10 and old Big East matchups but could not care less about the actual programs.

I'll also root for the 2 schools that my daughters went to and recently graduated. Both schools are also Big Ten schools, so of course I'll root for Rutgers when they're playing these schools. I don't have a lot of hatred for our competitors and enjoy watching Big Ten basketball.

I also developed interests of other schools outside the Big Ten, when my kids were applying to schools. To this day, I still watch Colorado Buffs football and basketball games, as well as, University of Miami games.

Rutgers all the way, and I will echo any team that faces Puke, Sad Excuse, and Notre Lame.

Seton Hall? I actually like their team this year.

I was a big Villanova fan when I was in middle school during the Kerry Kittles era. I dropped them as soon as I enrolled at Rutgers. Ended up marrying a Villanova grad and now I love her but hate them.

There was never any second team for me in college basketball. However I always actively rooted against some teams. These are the 3 I can think of as my least favorite.

UNC
Kentucky
Seton Hall

Duke is an easy target because of the Christian Laettner, Bobby Hurley, Jason Williams, Grayson Allen factor for all different reasons....I don't think anyone bothers me like perhaps in years past but nothing stood out to me years ago more than John Chaney at Temple years ago, wanting to literally grab Calipari by the neck during that press conference......the game was always super dirty, going all the way back to the book "Raw Recruits".....for any recent fans of the game (younger than perhaps 35 or 40 years old) it is probably a must read book...

Daughter went to Nova (along with a lot of my money). Root for them #2. Loved Harry Parretta when he coached Nova women. Best non RU women’s game ever was Nova beating UConn at the RAC in tournament.

Pitt is distant 2nd. My 2 kids and their spouses all are Pitt grads so I made at least 1-2 games a year to the Pete. Great place to see a game and great atmosphere.

Actually ...while we have been so bad before recent, Butler was my adopted team for every March madness since the mid 90s. ...

Distant 2nd college team--Tar Heels, where I did my post-PharmD fellowship.

Hate but respect (always to lose): Nova, Johnnies, ND, Cuse, Dook, PSU, BC, UConn
Hate but no respect (always lose): shoe (jokers should be in the MAAC fighting it out with St. Peter's)
Only Big East I can remotely root for is GTown

Pro team: childhood Nets fan , adopted Warriors as 2nd team living in SF
