Not a huge rooting interest, but leaning Michigan I suppose as I've had enough UConn, would like to see the B1G break the streak, and I have a nephew who has been a Michigan fan for a while (though I'm converting him to an Illini).

Then the long wait for college football.

Welp, woke up today and absolutely 100% do not want Michigan to win

I’m hoping UConn loses by 30. Seems like the most likely outcome so

entitled scUM fans are. I mean, it's possible Uconn folks are that way too, but I don't really know any, so all I'm exposed to is scUM entitlement. It's gross.

Sadly, scUM is going to win. And trust me, we won't hear the end of it for a long long time.

Michigan fan in front of me rooting performatively harder for UConn than the UConn fans to my right.

And then talking shit about Illinois after we lost being 20 years from making another final four.

So screw them.

Also I don't want Morez to win.

I can handle UConn and Hurley winning again. Hurley sucks but he's a great coach that I respect a lot. May too but screw Michigan.

I hate Michigan with the fire of a thousand suns, but we need the title back in the Big Ten...

They're going to steamroll UConn tonight.

Overall, I didn't really encounter anything too bad from any other fanbase

The one time I went to the big house was the Juice game and they were bad and mostly more mad about their own program.

This group showed up like a couple minutes before tipoff and immediately threw the vibe off rooting harder against Illinois than anything.

My experience doesn’t seem to be the universal based off fan interactions on Twitter.

While I didn’t have many bad interactions in Indy, every one I did have was with Michigan fans

I did my 4 years of residency in Ann Arbor and met my wife there (she got 2 degrees from Michigan and really doesn't care about sports).

My youngest daughter has committed there, so a pre-enrollment natty would be kind of cool for her.

Yes some of their fans are dicks, especially the Walmart Wolverine crowd but UCONN is terrible that way too.

Time for our conference to win this and end that dumb narrative.

I respect Hurley but enough already.

annoyingly I want the Big Ten to hold the three biggest titles.
