Mine's different, because of undergrad allegiance.

I watch every Santa Clara game, to the point that'll even try to schedule around the games where possible, to make sure I'm free.

When CU is on and it doesn't conflict with Santa Clara (which is frequent because the WCC plays all league games Thursday/Saturday, no exceptions, which is different than the Pac), I almost always have CU on, unless, say, it's a mid-day weekend game and I happen to be busy. I'll turn off a CU non-conf blowout, probably won't do the same for Santa Clara... I'd watch it all.

Other games I watch sparingly. Usually, I'll turn on Gonzaga/BYU/Saint Mary's games where one is playing the other. I enjoy the WCC, it's a long time family thing for me.
Really interesting Top 25 games, sometimes. Wife occasionally pops on Stanford games when they're on TV, moreso this year.

I try to watch every second of the Tournament though.

Santa Clara has a very nice team this year. But damn did you run into a buzzsaw at Gonzaga last week.
 
I watch all Buff games, but otherwise tend to check out some games in 2nd half, re=visit the close ones.

I think our three previous games against Gonzaga have been a combined 150 point loss. I believe Saint Marys, BYU, and us (once, in 2007) are the only teams in the league to win in their building since it opened in... 2004.

Hoping for better result at home, though they scorched us here last year. No dumb losses, though, and we could well be in line for an NIT bid (USD got one last year at 21-14, 7-9 in the WCC), which would be the first NIT/NCAA bid since 1996... and we have no seniors, and a $38 million practice facility opening shortly. So trending up...

There's actually a lot of parallels to Colorado Football- we never should have gotten as bad as we have been over the last 10-20 years considering what we did the previous century (generally we were good before 2000, more NCAA trips than CU for example) and what we have in terms of resources, as well as what we have to offer from a location and academic perspective. Just fell asleep and assumed you didn't have to pay attention or reinvest to get what you have always been getting... been tough to watch SMC compete so well with no resources and no facilities
 
Watch as much as I can around family events. We do not kiss a CU game either in person or on TV (a few more this year due to the hip). Try to catch good games when I can otherwise. About 2-3 a week
 
Overall my college basketball viewing picks up significantly about this time of year. I catch most if not all of the CU games that aren't on the Pac12 Network (I don't currently have that network). I'll watch just about any ranked team on the weekend when I'm free and during the week I'll usually catch a Syracuse game and other times I'll check in on an ACC game, and occassionally turn on a Big10 game. As the regular season winds down I start watching and paying a lot more attention with all the bubble talk going on.

The first weekend of the tournament is one of my favorite sports weekends of the year, especially that Thursday and Friday with it being such a rarity having a major sports event being played during the day on a weekday. Although in recent years they've managed to **** up the weekend schedule with not having as many games in the afternoon and backloading the schedule with Saturday and Sunday night games.

This ... plus try to catch the end of close games if someone alerts us to them on the generic MBB page.
 
Watch all CU games.
Other college basketball viewing is up like 200% due to no Nuggets or Avs (except the rando National broadcast).
But what I am going to switch to direct TV and lose buffs.... yeah right.
