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!
