Who are you rooting for in the Big Dance this year?
For me, it's St. Louis, followed by any A-10 team, then RMU and Pitt.

Re: Who are you rooting for in the Big Dance this year?
IMHO the Big 10 has the strongest teams and will undoubtedly be well represented at the dance and in the later rounds. I'm rooting for a sleeper in the Big 10 (like Minnesota, who had a good showing vs. IU last night). Other than that, in order I will root for any of the 60 teams in the tourney followed by the Russian National Team, the Iranian National Team, then Bobby Mo, then Pitt.

Re: Who are you rooting for in the Big Dance this year?
I root for any and all A-10 teams followed by all the other local teams, yes including Pitt. St. Louis has been particularly impressive even without RM who was, IMO, one of the greatest ever. There is so much parity these days that any one of at least a dozen teams could win the dance if they get hot at the right time. Looking forward to the greatest sporting event ever, at least for me.

I'll be backing all the A-10 teams and hoping Pitt loses in 1st round.

If I don't hate Pitt, does that make me less of a Duquesne Dukes fan?

Not at all, that makes you a true blue Pittsburgher. Only time to root against Pitt, RMU, West Va. and Penn State is if they're playing our beloved Dukes. No need to invite any more bad Karma.

I respectfully disagree!

Re: Who are you rooting for in the Big Dance this year?
I find myself rooting for the small A10 schools that'll be left if/when the schools depart for the Catholic 7. In that case, La Salle and VCU are the two teams I am really rooting for. After that, any cinderella (Davidson?).

Re: Who are you rooting for in the Big Dance this year?
I will be pulling hard for LaSalle, and VCU. I don't have a problem with Temple, so I'll pull for them too if they make it. I've gotten past rooting against Pitt, but I don't really root for them, unless they are playing a team like Villanova.

Re: Who are you rooting for in the Big Dance this year?
My view on the whole Pitt thing has been mentioned before. I think us getting our panties in a wad over them is just absurd. When it comes to college basketball we haven't been playing in the same universe as Pitt for over 30 years so its a moot point.
I have trouble "cheering for" Pitt, so I am mostly neutral. If it comes down to Pitt vs. Duke, UNC, Kentucky, Kansas et. al. then its "Go Panthers.
