The would have to be Penn State. yes, they have a basketball team, and they are actually decent this year. Right now we stand at 14-12 and are pretty much a lock for the NIT, which is a huge success considering the school. This years team had only 1 senior, so next years team looks to be promising.

Why Penn State basketball? Because I go there. I like to support all of the teams in my school, good or bad.

Also I believe Jemelle Cornly can win Big Ten Freshman of the Year and Geary Claxton is one of the best players in the Big Ten.

Florida State University. They do about the same thing every year. They play just well enough with not neccesarilly great basketball players, but very athletic players to make the NIT. Then in the that tourney they blow out in either round 2 or 3 to some no name school in the West. It pisses me off that they don't get any white players. It's not that I am racest, but in college basketball white with that were great in high school are pretty freaking good in college too. It's just they suck in the pros with more height. Either way though GO NOLES!!!

Good, maybe FSU can be knocked out by PSU this time. I can't wait.

Penn State would beat FSU just like they did in the Orange Bowl, with neither team wanting to win the game. lol.

Penn State had a few big wins this season. They snapped Illinois' 33 game home winning streak with a shot that was called off at the buzzer. We beat Indiana at home for our 1st meaningful Big Ten win in year, I got to rush the court that game. lol.

Penn State has their last game against Iowa tonight and then it's on to Illinois for the Big Ten tourney where they will most likely face a Minnesota team that is on fire. Should be a good game.

Being from both Saint Joe's and Villanova they are both my favorite teams. This year Nova should get a number one seed and should have a shot to win it all.

Saint Joe's on the other hand is having a tougher year. They have a chance to win the A-10 and make the NCAAs but if not hopefully they can make it back to the NIT title game this year and actually win. (Last year they lost to SC)

Im a big Illinois fan, but altough we arent having another great season like last year I think that we can still take down the Big Ten, and mabye with some luck get to the final four.

Being a big fan of philly basketball i'm going to have to disagree. I just don't see their 4 guard offensive holding up. If they go cold from the 3 in the tourney they are DONE, IF they manage to play A+ basketball the whole tourney then they can make a final four run, but i dont think they will. Plus ontop of that they may just get screwed by some bs travel call.

Being a Canadian, I don't really have a 'favourite' team. I just love to watch March Madness. Me and a couple buddies always fill out our brackets and throw like 10 bucks into a pot. Best bracket takes the cash.

I follow pretty much every sport there is to follow - sports and poker are my 2 biggest passions right now.

So, while I won't be cheering FOR any teams (other than to help out my bracket) there are some schools that I can't stand, and would love to see lose early - teams like Duke, North Carolina and Arizona to name a few.

EDIT: I of course, am assuming that NC and Zona even make it to the big dance this year

That travel call was total bs. NC shouldn't have even made it to the sweet sixteen last year.

Nova will make the final four. Just wait and see...

Wow. Did anyone see that FSU game!?!
