Is Roy still crying about his seeding?

Has to be. Either that or Kentucky has virtually no fans in Kentucky. Although after last night that may actually be true. So this map may be extremely accurate.

These maps are skewed because 60% of Facebook users are female. Women and kids are also more likely to use the like feature than men who are the more rabid fans of sports.

Still very interesting but take it with a grain of salt.

It seems to be fairly accurate. The “by region” setting turned Kentucky into a red state (for Louisville), and we know that the state is predominantly full of UK fans. But as nm pointed out, its simply a poll of Facebook users which eliminates a large portion of the sports fan demographic.

It specifically states it is only using NCAA Tournament team data. That’s why neither us or Kentucky are listed.

Well, it’s why Kentucky isn’t listed, anyway…

The only C-USA “squares” belong in the Memphis area even though there are C-USA schools all over the southern USA. It’s only tourney teams although if it was all teams our area would still be ACC dominated, sadly.
