Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 3339199, member: 7894"] Agreed, I don't like it either. Nobody learns anything from 50+ point beat downs. Not the winning team, not the losing team, not the last player on the end of the bench who gets some PT, but won't in a game against real competition. I don't know if this year is worse than normal or I'm just paying more attention to it, but so few games have been compelling so far. I don't think Washington is going to be very good this year and they've hammered a pair of opponents by 30 and 50. Everything is driven by football, but there's no way there should be approx. 350 teams competing at the D1 level in men's and women's hoops. It's too many, by a wide margin. But it's the current landscape, not sure that it's going to change (and if it does it will probably be a consolidation of power by very few programs, breaking away from the NCAA). [/QUOTE]
