I don't get the dislike for Jon Scheyer. He seems pretty likeable to me. Way more than K his last decade +.
He played and coaches at Duke.
That should be plenty.

Off the top of my head reasons why people don't like him.
He played at Duke.
His HS coaches brother was the Illinois coach. Illini fans wanted him to go to Illinois.
He's a Jew.
Playing at Duke is a valid reason.
I guess I don't find myself hating all Duke players. I liked Grant Hill and Trajan Langdon. Although that list of likeable players each year significantly shrinks the further into Ks career we move. Mostly due to K.

Now that K is gone, I don't hate Duke anymore than most other schools.

I'll stop hating them when their fans and the media come to grips with the fact that it's over.*
* It is here I'll note that I REALLY hope Girod fully understands how quickly it can all disappear, although we're not remotely a one-coach program like Duke.

You must choose one team to root for in the tournament other than KU.
Who do you choose?
For me, this morning I decided I am a Marquette fan. That may change 10 seconds from now.
Utah St.

That’s a good one.
Throw in Oral Roberts and Providence.
( I actually like Providence - I was there when Gomes played ).

K made Duke unlikable for me.
Their fans are annoying too. But that holds true for most fanbases.
I have no reason to hate Duke the school.

To me, not hating duke is not nearly the same as not hating Mizzou or KState or Iowa State.

Correct. hating Mizzou is a KU thing.
Hating Duke is a normal, functional, rational, well-adjusted human thing.
Not nearly the same.
