College Basketball

College Basketball is my favorite sport to watch hands down. Absolutely due to the fact it's part of the culture in Kentucky, but still part of me either way :P  

My team that I've followed since birth is the University of Kentucky (Some of my best memories are the final four games the last couple of years and partying in Lexington~).

The regular season should be starting up soon, and the AP has released their top 25 poll:

1North Carolina (35)0-01,5662Kentucky (10)0-01,5203Maryland (14)0-01,4874Kansas (5)0-01,4105Duke0-01,3506Virginia (1)0-01,3477Iowa State0-01,1858Oklahoma0-01,0889Gonzaga0-01,04710Wichita St0-01,03211Villanova0-01,01312Arizona0-091713Michigan State0-083814California0-075715Indiana0-075516Utah0-049917Wisconsin0-043318Vanderbilt0-039319Notre Dame0-036020Connecticut0-030721LSU0-026822Baylor0-026523Purdue0-023624Butler0-022325Michigan0-0126
Who do you guys root for? 

 
Those of you who know me know that I am a buckeyes fan through and through. That being said I did not watch a single NCAA game last season because of my work schedule so I am hoping to catch some games this year.

 
Season starts tomorrow, I'm pumped. I haven't been able to watch either of the exhibition games, but UK apparently looked awesome. I have decent tickets tomorrow :D  

 
out of the 4 major sports, basketball was always my least favorite, but ive def lost interest over the years...i think partly due to the slower, more physical style of play (especially in the NBA)...and also because of the one-and-done in college...you dont see those great teams that you grow to love (or hate) anymore, like the Hurley-Laettner Duke teams, the Kentucky team in the late 80's/early 90s that stuck around through the scandal and rebuilt the program (and of course took on Kentucky in the Greatest Basketball Game Ever Played), the Fab Five, the Runnin' Rebels of that era...great teams...

EDIT to add: and i cant forget the Big East back in the day...
