    State your five favorite basketball teams

    and this is for colleges.

    Topper doesn't really follow sports passionately, but in order depending upon who's winning, yes Topper likes a bandwagon with the best of them:

    UNC (yes it's the wrong Carolina but the right Carolina doesn't often play good ball)
    Dook
    Kentucky
    Florida
    UConn.

    Yours?

    Clemson and USC are inconsistent so cheering for them is kinda like your mother in law's cooking, you gotta say you love it, even if it's not any good.

      What?

      You like Weber State, Utah State, BYU, Utah and Georgetown?

        What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

          Oh, you said colleges. Why do I even try?

                        Mild interest in Weber/USU/SUU if they make the NCAA tournament
                        Anyone playing Kentucky

                        VCU won me $150 during the NCAA tournament last year, so I'll always be fond of them.

                          I used to live in Memphis. I'll cheer for the tigers unless they're playing byu.

                            I'm not sure how to quantify "favorite", Utah is the only team I follow in terms of recruiting and team knowledge. So, outside of Utah, I'll list the teams that I will make a minor effort to watch if they are on TV.

                            Kansas State - One of these days, Martin is going to go all Mortal Kombat and rip someone's spine right out of their body. I want to see it when it happens.
                            Kansas - I have been a fan of Bill Self since his days at Tulsa. He gets his players to play hard.
                            Michigan State - I like the way Izzo teams play. One my largest disappointments of Boylen is that he couldn't ever get that going here.
                            UCLA - I've always enjoyed Howland teams since his days at Pitt.
                            Arizona - Mostly just a regional interest.

                            Now that we're in the same division as UCLA and Arizona, my interest in them has gone up.

                            I also like to watch the teams that seem to have the talent in any given year. Usually that includes UNC and Duke. Although, for whatever reason, after watching Duke, I always feel guilty and am in need of some soul saving.

                              I once went to a Buzz game and saw some idiot wearing a Duke hat and UNC t-shirt. I wanted to buy him a plane ticket to North Carolina so he could get his ass kicked by fans of both teams.

                              Utah is my team. I don't have another team, but I do pull for the Pac-12 to the tournament.
