It's an odd combo but I can explain if you like. My mom also went to UNC so I cheer for them when I can.
haha..if you want to explain, i'm always interested in how people become fans of certain teams/schools
It's true. You were interested in how I became a Mavs fan.

The LaSalle part is easy. My Dad and I both went there. The Hoya connection goes back to the Palestra doubleheaders of the late 70's with the streamers and hatred for all the other Big 5 teams. I was born in 1970 and started going to every LaSalle game once out of the womb. I guess I started to enjoy cheering against Nova and this Hoya team was pretty exciting so I latched on. The 80's werent so great for LaSalle until Lionel Simmons arrived so I guess that helped strengthen my bond with them.
As I said before, my Mom went to UNC when Billy Cunnigham was there. Well with her being a UNC fan and me being a Hoya fan made the 82-83 title game was interesting. I remember her cheering as I lay on the floor with my head in my hands crying but that's why I loved her.
My parents met a college basketball in NYC.
I'll be honest about this year's Hoya team. I don't know much about them with all the turnover the had. Now that the season is kicking, I hope to be able catch some of their games.
My order: LaSalle>Georgetown>UNC.
Alright, alright, alright!

take it easy on the young wildcats tonight, orangemen.
Does anyone else find 11 AM on a Saturday a strange start time for a game? That's the start time for the UConn-Notre Dame game.

is there a reason?
i think noon is too early. 11 is ri god damn diculous.
Don't know if there is a reason; it's at ND. There could be some reason relating to ND. It's on ESPN2.
I don't mind noon games.

but what's the advantage for tv showing a game at 11 in the morning? i don't get that.

one more live game that day instead of a another rerun of sportscenter. if i'm home i'll turn it on.
i know the hawks played temple at 11:00 am a few years ago. was brutal going to the Palestra for an 11:00 am game.

just weird that it's on opposite college game day.
Nothing like waking up at 10:45 and having coffee and a bagel while watching UConn.
