I think its also an age thing. I was born in 92. I probably don't have near the hate for Duke people older than me do. We've only played them a handful of times since I've been able to watch.Don't think for one second that those other schools "don't care about us." They absolutely do. They lurk on our boards just like some of us lurk on theirs and talk shyte about us just like we do them.
We may not be their main rival, because every school has one of those, and it's usually an in-state, in-conference, border-type rivalry. But they most certainly DO care about whether or not we win or lose, for most of the same reasons we care about their wins and losses. And many of them hate us as much as we hate them, in a sports context, of course.

Wow nobody else said them
Eh, more a striped crook. But point taken.They cost UK 2 winnable titles.
I definitely hate them.
Funny how you mention UNC cheating but somewhat compliment KU for basically cheating their asses off.No other program can claim our continual success like UNCheat can. They are at the top of the list. If you know diehard UNCheat fans then you will agree.
The rest is a sliding scale of how good or bad they are in a given year. With pitino playing for titles at UL they were up there but it’s hard now not to feel pity. IU? I never gave shat about them they are no threat.
Duke? Maybe depends on the season.
UCLA? As long as they aren’t playing for a title I dont care.
UT? Idiot fans but their bb program leaves everything to be desired.
Ark? I can’t stand their fans and when they start winning even the slightest they talk trash about our tradition.
KU? Maybe theyre second in this moment because of the wins. The thing I fear of Kansas is their AD doesn’t play around. He wants to win. You haven’t seen bill self put it on cruise like cal. Barney vs their ad Barney will get buried everytime and they are doing it with a guy who has been there longer than cal at UK. In recent times they don’t have crappy seasons like cal has brought. They may get bounced early here and there but they have been dominant. Their ad is determined to win as example of new contract for self after the vacating of wins.
I’m not complimenting KU. First UNCheated through 3 titles. Not a couple years of paying guys. Second UNC got away with the cheating so all their records are intact and they are still the biggest threat in cbb to overtake our tradition. The only thing I’m complimentary of KU is their AD is gonna make sure their bb program is winning come hell or highwater. Having an AD like that is why they are strong right now having an AD like Barney is why we are treading water. It shows you the difference in a program that has the backing of the AD who will make sure it’s successful vs a program whose AD is more enamored with non revenue producing sports and has been the primary reason for our cbb decline for many years going back to Bcg. Kansas has a strong program for many many years and continues while we fell off the map in that time and have just tried to get back to decency.Funny how you mention UNC cheating but somewhat compliment KU for basically cheating their asses off.
Yes, several did.Other: UCONN
Wow nobody else said them
I don't actually hate UCONN at all. I hate that we're not having their results, but that's different. If there's a reason to hate them, I haven't heard it.Other: UCONN

Their fans are vulgar, obnoxious, east coast trash. There's one.I don't actually hate UCONN at all. I hate that we're not having their results, but that's different. If there's a reason to hate them, I haven't heard it.
Interesting. I’ve literally never met a UCONN fan.Their fans are vulgar, obnoxious, east coast trash. There's one.
I've seen video of them "greeting" opposing team players at their place, and it's not something I would my children or grandchildren to be around.Interesting. I’ve literally never met a UCONN fan.

They have that nouveau riche attitudeNouveau riche
I agree … Tennessee should’ve been a choice, so I selected “other.”1. Tennessee - Most Hated in everything!
2. Louisville - Second Most Hated - Complete Trash of a program and University
3. Kansas - Enough Said
4. Duke - 1992 and I still Hate Laettner!
5. Indiana - Pure Trash
6. Arkansas - Still loathe them from the Nolan Richardson days
7. Florida - Joakim Noah, Matt Walsh...enough said
8. Michigan State - Cheaters
9. UNC - Even more cheaters
10. UCLA - They have 11 Titles
Tennessee for me. Nothing sucks like a big orange!!Whose losses do you enjoy the most and whose wins do you hate the most? Why?
