Hate that tOSU is ahead of us. I assume this is just men's hoops.

I wonder about the order. Ohio State men's hoops, for an excellent program, doesn't even get that much of a following in Columbus. Football is king by far.

Ohio State has a bajillion alums. The methodology is pretty simple, survey asks people if they are a college hoops fan, and if so, who their favorite team is. Not surprising that given aforementioned bajillion status tOSU comes out so high.

Yep.

Surprised we're the 5th most poplar, considering how Boeheim is such a ly elder

Honestly, it is surprising that OSU is above us, how is Duke still #1? I thought I read an article last year that they had a hard time selling out Cameron? Maybe I'm out of it.

I was hoping we'd be oak or maple.

I believe their problem is getting students to show up for games against poop teams.

Across the fruited plains basketball fans think that our tavern league is pretty good. Iggy's msg must not be getting out, or maybe millions of fans are too dense to see the truth?

Oak and maple may have harder wood, but poplar is more precocious...

They can't see the forest through the trees?

They have a national fan base. I imagine a ton of Notre Dame football fans love Duke basketball.

I should've clarified that I'm surprised Kentucky hasn't overtaken them.

I had an acquaintance in college who loved Duke bball, Florida football, the Lakers, the Yankees and the Cowboys.

I once ball tapped him to the point of vomiting.

Michael Bivins was the mastermind behind ABC so Bell Biv Devoe still wins this one!!!

I still think he was talking about Rob Moore in poison

It's driving me outta my mind...
I heard that rumor long ago but now I don't think it's true. I think it was a mondegreen. Like "there's a bathroom on the right" and "hold me closer Tony Danza."

 

[Madbiker]

Was the survey conducted in downtown Hartford? Can't believe anyone outside that area listed UConn. Do they still have sports teams?
