Kentucky is undefeated on Facebook too

The Sweet 16 is upon us and fans around the country have been flocking to social media to let their feeling be known. Facebook compiled a map of the which teams are being talked about the most, and unsurprisingly Kentucky is on everyone’s lips. Comes with the territory of being the No.1 seed and favorite to win the tournament. There are a few oddities too.

  • Nobody in North Carolina is talking about the Tar Heels. Discussion is dominated by Duke and NC State -- which feels off.
  • Wichita State owns Kansas now. Sorry Jayhawks.
  • UCLA owns SoCal, but ONLY SoCal. The rest of the state is all Kentucky.
  • Notre Dame has its small foothold in Indiana, but an even bigger following in Montana.
