March Madness: Celebrity College Basketball Fans
BILL MURRAY
Murray is a Xavier fan – but not because he's an alum. His son Luke Murray is an assistant coach for the school's basketball team. Sadly, they both had a rough weekend when Xavier lost at the buzzer to the University of Wisconsin.
JOE BIDEN
Vice President Biden is a fan of the Syracuse Orange – he attended the university's law school. And before they took on ACC rival Duke, he was sure to share his support for the team.
OLIVIA MUNN & AARON RODGERS
Obviously, the Green Bay Packers quarterback supports a team close to home – and so does his actress girlfriend. Rodgers and Munn root for the University of Wisconsin Badgers, and they supported them in-person during the NCAA tournament last year.
ASHLEY JUDD
Judd is vocal about her love for her alma mater's team, the Kentucky Wildcats, and regularly appears in the stands to cheer them on.
JASON SUDEIKIS
The actor grew up in Overland Park, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City – and developed a love for the state's legendary college basketball team, the Kansas Jayhawks. He's even converted fiancé Olivia Wilde to root for the team.
KID ROCK
The Michigan native supports his parents' school, Michigan State University – he grew up just 90 minutes away from East Lansing, Michigan. He's been spotted court side at a few Spartan games over the years.
JOHN LEGEND
Though he went to the University of Pennsylvania, Legend is a Buckeye fan through and through – he grew up less than an hour outside of Columbus, Ohio, home to Ohio State University. He told ESPN that although he doesn't make it to too many games, he catches them on TV when he can.
JENNIFER LAWRENCE
The Louisville native stays true to her hometown roots – she's a Cardinals fan through and through. Lawrence attended a game in full game day attire in December 2014 while home for the holidays.
SELENA GOMEZ
Gomez is such a big Baylor University fan she named her dog after the school – and stepped out with her pup, sporting a Baylor sweatshirt.
DRAKE
He may not have attended the University of Kentucky, but that doesn't stop Drake from rooting for them. He even introduced head coach John Calipari at the school's Big Blue Madness event last year. His relationship with the school hasn't been perfect, however: There have been two NCAA violations for the team involving Drake.
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
Like J-Law, JT roots for his hometown team, too: the Memphis Tigers. Last year, when he was inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame, he walked into the team's fight song – rather than one of his own tunes.
PAUL RUDD
Kansas native Rudd is also an alum of the University of Kansas – and continues to support the team (and other Kansas teams, like 2015 World Series champs the Royals) today.
