Of course I hate Xavier, but I hate Wright State too, so I won't be rooting for either one of them. I see no reason I should root for WSU simply because they are located in Fairborn.

This is pretty much I look at it also. I don't have the level of hatred for WSU that I do for
xavier though. I won't root for them or against them, I just feel indifference towards them. Basically, I could care less.
xavier is a different story though. I don't think I've ever hated a team or program in any sport or level more than I do them. And before someone accuses me of hating them because of their success, it has nothing to do with that. Just look at what happened at the end of their game yesterday with St. John's, and you'll understand where my hate comes from. Don't recall watching too many of their games without seeing technicals flying, fights, or watching Mack having to be held back by his assistants from going after officials. They win, but they do with zero class or dignity, and their clueless obnoxious fans are oblivious to it, or simply do not care. Watching them lose in the first round would be pure joy for me.
