Facebook Maps Out Where the NCAA Tournament’s Fans Are; Everyone Is a UNC Fan

A few key takeaways: 

  • The ACC is incredibly popular. Look at the stranglehold it has over the South and East Coast.
  • UNC has the most liked fan page, and are far and away the most popular team in the South bracket. Not bad for an eight-seed. (Related: Duke's national popularity may be a bit overstated. North Carolina dominates it in the two schools' head-to-head.)
  • Indiana could have a lot of local fans around for its games in Ohio and D.C.
  • Just as Gonzaga will be playing in home terrority in Salt Lake City and Los Angeles.
