I guess it depends how and when you got into the game.
I really hate Duke first and foremost.   Then UConn.  Georgetown not so much - they are more a nuisance for me.  Let me explain.

I became a fan of college basketball in the early 90's.   And while I was always a fan of Syracuse (would make sure to watch their game or listen on the radio), I quickly became a fan at the "National Level" rather than the Big East.   In large part because I had rabbit ears on the Canada side and I only got CBS, NBC, and ABC.   No ESPN!    And I bought and read every annual magazine, subscribed to SI, subscribed to Sporting News.   So the information I absorbed was more of a national scope rather than Big East scope.

Which is why a hatred for Duke developed more than anybody else.   And as I got exposed to more things on TV or the internet there has been nothing to really improve that view on Duke... only made it worse.

If you didn't watch much college basketball in the 1980's, the allure of a Georgetown is not very significant.
