Two championships and another Final Four since 2004 ain't bad.

I'm a bigger fan of defense than most, but aside from the top teams, college basketball is becoming unwatchable. I used to be able to watch 10 straight hours on Saturdays, but I'm not really a fan of two-hour games that end up in the 40s and low 50s...something that is happening more and more often.

Do they have 2?? C'mon Roy hasn't done that well..........

I do not like 54-42 games either but the abundance of 92-88 games in the ACC was a joke from an opposite end of the spectrum....while mnost like scoring and rightfully so, I like it played on both ends with some impact on the defensive end besides the in-your-face at half court and then releasing.....but to each their own!

College ball can definitely be a slog compared to NBA sometimes. The fact that they added a halo under the hoop and pushed the three point line back were good moves. Add a defensive 3 seconds and 24 second shot clock, that should give things a little more space and speed. I don't want to see non-stop free throws like the NBA though.
