I am very passionate about my wolfpack of NC State. I've grown up with them instilled in my house and grateful I had the opportunity to attend the school for my secondary education. We are know for our magical 1983 championship with the great Jimmy Valvano. The ending of the final is one of the most famous in college basketball history, with Lorenzo Charles' dunk at the buzzer off a high, arching alley-oop pass from 30 feet out by Dereck Whittenburg providing the final margin. In fact, the team won 7 of its last 9 games after trailing with a minute left in the game. Both Charles' dunk and Valvano's running around the court in celebration immediately after the game have been staples of NCAA tournament coverage ever since. North Carolina State's victory has often been considered the greatest upset in college basketball history and one of the best in sports history. I've been to just about every home game since middle school. I bleed Red and White.

I am and always will be a Pittsburgh Panther fan. I have seen them go from bad to good. I just wish they can get past the sweet 16. Jamie Dixion has had a lot of problems this season to over come. He has proved to some of his fellow coaches that he can over come the problem and succeed.

I love the Conneticut Huskies and always will. No matter how well they play I love them. Ray Allen, Richard Hamilton, Diana Taursai. I still love even if they were on a rival team. They don't their offense through just one player or one position. A very unselfish team that stands up for each other. They are outstandingly coached by Jim Calhoun. Although they play in a now very competitve Big East battle through exciting close games. (Usually Winning)  . They will win the Big East tournanment and March Madness. Go Huskies. They have a good chance of winning the Big East this year.

I nominate myself to represent the University of Louisville Cardinals. I grew up listening to Cawood Ledford call UK games on the radio. In 1971 Denny Crum left Westwood to coach the Cardinals and I have been a fan ever since.
Denny put the Cardinals on the National map in short order by reaching the Final Four in 1975, losing to his mentor, John Wooden and UCLA.
In 1980 The Drs of Dunk, led by Louisvillian Darrel Griffith led the Cards to our first National Championship against Larry Brown and UCLA. 6 years later Never Nervous Pervis led the Cards to our 2nd NC by defeating Duke.
Now that Godfather Rick Pitino has come on board, the Cards are back on the national map again. A Final Four team in 05, this team has all the makings of a great Pitino coached team. Undefeated in February in the Big East is no small feat.
Who wants to play the Cards today?

I don’t have an easy answer to why I am a UK fan, as a boy we didn’t watch sports my dad thought sports were a waste of time and he hated them, therefore we were to hate them also. I started watching UK when I was about 13 because I got a job doing construction with a cousin who was a huge fan. I was immediately hooked, Rex Chapman was my favorite player and I was on my way to becoming not only a huge UK fan but a complete sports nut. My dad was not impressed, I however, was.

Boston College is my favorite football team. When Doug Flutie was there he revived Eagles the football program.

I would like to be in the tournament. I am an full time Arkansas fan.
I was brought up as a kid as an Arkansas fan and will always be til I die. I went to 15 years of home Arkansas football games. Saw an unraked Arkansas football team beat #1 Texas 42-11 in 1981. Will never forget that moment as long as I live.

This years team utilizes multiple defenses in building a 14-3 BE record, and preparing itself for another run in the NCAA. The Godfather has brought respect back to the Louisville program.

I was born and raised in Allen Fieldhouse, population 16,300
My Father Lawrence and my mother Jay had a knack for shooting Hawks growing up.
It wasn't long until I realized our family had a chance at the Big 12 Title. With a family of 5, we all reached double figures against Kansas State last week.
My name is Kansas, and I want to be represented by CBC Member Mayhem!
I'm 27-3, and this ain't no sipp'n tea.
If I'm not in your Final Four bracket, then you might as well smoke some crack-it.
Thank you, and God Bless~JTG

Boiler Up!
Purdue will show just how far Matt Painter has modeled this team after his philosophy. Tough, scrappy, passionate and determined. Purdue will have a strong showing in the Big Ten tournament, possibly winning it, and IMO will reach the Sweet Sixteen in the big dance.

I am a Jayhawk, born and bred. Yeah, many people can say that they grew up with their school. My family literally built this university. My great-grandfather built Snow Hall. My dad was actually the first person in his ENTIRE family to not graduate from KU. He transferred after a year. I am keeping on the tradition right now in my junior year. Yes, I love KU basketball and bleed crimson and blue but this is literally in my blood. I am the 4th generation to come here and I do not see that tradition stopping anytime soon.

I would like to represent Corn Hole U. I am a Corn Hole freak! The Corn Holios really know how to shove it in and score! I am all about the Corn Hole. I can watch them dunk it in over and over again. It is usually a messy game but it is worth watching the Corn Holios perform. My favorite players are Dirty Sanchez and Harry Bakdore. They really know how to slam it!
