I will be, but admittedly gritting my teeth a little when its KU. I've read so many of them online spouting off about hoping ISU is one and done, that it's really hard to cheer for them.
And this douche is reason #4393 why.

Classy answer. I root for the other Big 12 teams in the tournament. Except Iowa State, because I'm tired of them having success against us.
I want as many Big 12 teams as possible to get in, but after that, I don’t give two ***** about how they do in the tournament.
The obsession with conferences is so weird. We historically do the same thing in football, by talking up how great the conference was to excuse how much we sucked. It’s just strange all around.

Except for 2015 what year has ISU crapped the bed? They lost in the 2nd round in 2017 but played to their seed vs. a bad matchup in Purdue.
Weird take.
Yeah, like they should talk anyway.

The only B1G team I never root for is Nebraska. Have a hard time rooting for Minnesota as well
This is certainly true for my Hok fan co-workers. In fact, in a general college basketball convo I had with 2 colleagues yesterday, they both turned ISU Tourney Championship narrative into how DIFFICULT the B1G conference is and how teams just beat each other up after 3-4 days of such incredibly physical play. I kept my mouth shut, but ALMOST said, "I know one team that didn't have to worry about that happening." Wish I had said it - but still took delight in the obvious jealousy of their tone.The difference is Iowa will be rooting hard for every Big Ten team while we will be rooting against Kansas and Kansas State
I never root for Baylor and have a hard time rooting for Tejas. I play it both ways with KU basketball. If they lose I kick them while they are done. If they win, I pound my Big XII chest. I have no problem using Boo U to any advantage I can find.
Otherwise I like to see Big XII teams do well.
Weird take.
Ultimately it’s about money.
