Comparing analytics across eras is incredibly difficult, if not impossible. Many people, including myself, think college hoops as a whole took a nosedive in overall talent and level of play about a decade ago. There have been so many underwhelming champions over the last decade or so: '10 Duke, '11 UConn, '13 Louisville, '14 UConn, '16 Nova, '17 UNC, '19 Virginia. You have two years of one-and-done monsters ('12 UK, '15 Duke) and a darn good '18 Villanova team.

The college game is often ugly; yes, you get some outliers. I don't have a single friend (late 30s/early 40s) who still follows college hoops and they were all huge fans ten years ago--most aren't UConn fans. They simply can't watch it compared to the NBA and I don't blame them. I can't bring up college hoops in our group chat of nine guys--I get chided lol.

Comparing Top 30 wins this season vs 16 seasons ago doesn't do anything for me as I believe the Top 30 teams 15-20 years ago were significantly better than today's teams.
