I always enjoy rooting for non-villainous (or against villainous) former players and head coaches - gives me more games to watch with a rooting interest without having to lose money betting on the game. Pretty much everyone needs to win their conference tournament to go dancing, maybe a couple NIT worthy teams in there.
Former non-villainous players:
Austin Ball, Eastern Kentucky (11-20, 9th place in ASUN) - 3/4 v Stetson (Conf. Tournament starts 3/4)
Devin Dinkins, Manhattan (12-19, 10th place in MAAC) - 3/5 v Fairfield (Conf. Tournament starts 3/5)
Baraka Okojie, Mercer (19-12, 2nd place in SoCon) - 3/7 vs W Carolina (Conf. Tournament starts 3/6)
CAA tournament starts 3/6
Bryson Cokley, Elon (14-17), CAA - 11th place - 3/7 vs William and Mary

Jeremiah Quigley, Binghamton (8-23), America East last place - did not qualify for conf. tournament
CUSA tournament starts 3/10
Justin Begg, Sam Houston (21-8), Conf. USA - 3/5 vs Delaware
