OT: Favorite college bball teams to watch outside of SMU

[Donnell88]

Gonzaga: Small enrollment at a private school and the only big-league team in Spokane.

None.

I need to check out UNM someday. I like Izzo as a coach and root for him in the tourney. My sister went to Duke, not a huge fan but do watch them a few times during the year.

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

None whatsoever.

Inherently I hate MSU along with scUM but I got mad respect for Izzo. He's one of the most under-appreciated coaches imo. There's not one coach I'd take before him, Coach K included. Doesn't mean I don't think Coach K or others are worse, just Izzo does it all. He teaches his kids about life, they play fundamental basketball, they're tough, and they play so hard for him. I feel like he's one of those guys that many people will say are "one of the best coaches" but they don't truly mean it. Maybe I'm underselling him, regardless, I respect the way he runs his program and coaches.

UCLA, UCONN, Houston, Georgetown, St. John's, Villanova, USC, Stanford. Pac-12 in general.

Its just wild how izzos teams turn into high gear at tourney time and play above themselves as a team. Many times his reg season is just ok.

Really like ACC hoops. Watched a lot of Virginia last year. Duke is a good watch too.

I don't watch much SEC or PAC hoops. Just doesn't interest me to watch games like Ole Miss vs Georgia or WSU vs Oregon State.

Cannot understand how anyone can care about other teams than their own. Only so many hours in the day. I can't even watch the Super Bowl or Final Four unless my team is in it.

You will understand when you become a ponyman.

You will understand when you become a ponyman.

As for not understanding how people watch other teams/games, it's called being a fan of the sport. I love watching hoops, I don't care who's playing. That said, I only root for three teams - SMU, the Mavs, and whatever team the Spurs are playing.

I have enjoyed going to Xavier games. Small, private school with a great history. Also, I have gone to a couple of Northern Ky University games. Fun atmosphere. Just turned D1

Cintas center is a great place to catch a game. Used to go to quite a few there myself. Never been to an NKU game but I imagine there's a bunch of buzz there with turning D1 and everything.

I love the crosstown, especially on campus..
