Matty Light Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Now that the Big Dance field has been revealed, who are you pulling for? Among the teams with a shot at winning, I am pulling for UCLA, due to a personal connection to Tyga Campbell's father. The team I am most invested with SLU out of the picture are the Iowa Hawkeyes, mostly because of a personal connection with Kris Murray. I hope VCU does well to at least represent the A10 as our best. Who does Billiken Nation have the feels for? Your grad school, local state U? Let's hear who's got you excited for this week. Quote
billikenbill Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 I’m excited that UNC is not in the field. Since we beat Memphis, I hope they do well. Quote

TheA_Bomb Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 I think Texas has a favorable bracket. That's my grad school team. I wouldn't mind seeing College of Charleston do well. I went to a Citadel vs CoC game a few years back. Also Utah St. the only Aggies I would root for. Matty Light 1 Quote

Teams with a decent shot - I too am pulling for UCLA however I have no connection to Tyga. But I did live in LA and enjoyed some late night fraternizing with the ladies of Westwood from time to time. I’d like to see VCU lose big to St Mary’s. The A10 sucks this year. A few wins by VCU does absolutely nothing for the A10’s image. Indiana seems to have a decent path. My sister and bro-in-law went there (along with several friends) so i’lll probably root for them even though I hate the B10. Would also love to see College of Charleston win a few. A close friend of mine attended and the city is great. Matty Light 1 Quote

dlarry Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 I’ll pull for Xavier and Creighton. I’d be ok with UCLA making a run. Any non football school. Quote
mrjoelabs Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 If flordia Atlantic gets past Memphis they could be fun. Always behind St Mary’s with the man who should’ve been our coach. Where would we be now… Quote

slu72 Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 CofC. I live here and the whole place is over the moon. I doubt the can win it but a St Peters type run would be fun to see. Quote
Schasz Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Since SLU is not in...gotta root for the Vols. Last year I thought they'd advance at least a couple rounds. This year they were hot early and until the injury bug hit I thought they could make a run. Now without Zakai Ziegler their PG and a great defender I'll be surprised if they advance very far. They are still the top defensive team and if they bring it on D and get some offense too I can be mildly surprised with a run. I know the talking heads on CBS did not like their 1st team draw, but that team got waxed by Texas who was one of UT's big wins. Hope springs eternal!!! Quote
