Yesterday's post on the ACC teams generated a few emails about who I was actually rooting for this year. I hopped on the bandwagon of the original SuperFan Bruce Pearl '82. He's a BC Guy whose teams play an exciting brand of basketball. He's also winning at a school with a dormant basketball tradition.

Next Up: SEC Tournament. The SEC has been an interesting league this year. Tennessee is clearly the class of the conference, but after that, it’s been a nightly tossup as to who the next best teams are.
