    Say, hypothetically, your favorite team loses their first game in the tourney...bracket managing is much more fun when you have a dog in the hunt. What team(s) other than your primary team are you pulling for?

    Baylor. I really love their style of play and their back court. Awesome team to watch when they aren't beating us. I think they lost to KSU at home by 2 and to KU at their Lawrence so I seriously doubt they advance in the Big 12 tourney beyond us. But I like their chances to make the sweet 16.

    Louisville. Very inconsistent team but when they are on they look like a top 10 team.

    You can't root for Syracuse...even if they are fun to watch. Or, you simply don't remember "Let's-go-Or-ange" at the Superdome in '03.

    Could root for Kansas to win it all.

    Aside from that, I could relax as a sports fan and root for whoever earns a win, from Game One all the way. Just be happy for kids from some program who go out and get'er done.

    I root for any Big 12 team because what's good for the conference is good for Texas. The better our conference does in the Big Dance, the more attractive it is to in coming recruits which means better players, better coaches, and better basketball for the fan base. Go Big 12.

    The St. Mary's, Northern Iowa, Cornell, etc. are what make March Madness so great.

    I am now officially a St. Mary's fan. The Irish Catholic in my blood(way, way back my great-great came from Ireland), + my dislike of Baylor = pure pleasure when the Catholics beat the hell out of the Baptists on Thursday or Friday. I will be watching every second.

    Baylor is going to kill St Marys. The Baylor inside me will totally shut down St. Marys only big man.

    Cornell is the college version of Ponder, hitting their first 6 shots or something ridiculous.
