Other than boxing, no sport has fallen off harder than college hoops

J.J used to murder that Maryland team
Pullin up from 40 feet. Nothing but net

DJ Strawberry put hands on that cat they used to go at it. Gilchrist will forever be that nikka for that 3 day weekend in 04 beat cliff paul harlem hodge and the dookies made that little kid cry classic shyt. Cant believe MD fell off so hard after those days only nikka that really killed it was Vasquez. Turgeon got a squad this year but I just can't get into watching the games talent drop too glaring

 

[Tide Run This]

You right man you had rivalries because dudes stayed longer and you had more depth because of that. Also it brought more fans to the NBA because they would follow a player to the NBA.

Yeah no reason to get invested each year the key players change it was more interesting when you had build up like the mid 90s big east i used to skip doing homework to watch big monday watch Iverson or Allen and Kittles then watch wcw and wwf

College Basketball would have been alot worse if the NBA didn't stop cats from coming out of High School.

It became too much about the coaches and their ego

 

[jadillac]

used to be a huge college hoops fan, but the shyt just aint good as it used to be.

Yep. Makes me mad. I see cbb on like 5 different channels at same time and I'm like "man, this ish ain't even good enouh anymore" to be deserving of this much TV coverage.

College basketball sucks cause all those dudes go to the same ducking teams every year. It's so damn boring. I wish all the top prospects did what Ben Simmons did. Go to a good school that may not be considered an basketball school and put up numbers. Much more fun to watch and I bet to play

You know Simmons only went to LSU because his family is an assistant coach. Otherwise...

 

[Black Ball]

On top of everything yall saying. The tournament itself makes the whole regular season worthless for the viewer. Why do I need to tune it before the tournament? They even let analysts cover the tournament who aint watched a minute of regular season college hoops (Charles Barkley & Kenny Smith).

 

[Bigtymer301]

All these kids going to the same school for only 1 year has made the product suffer. If you watch Dook, UK, and Kansas....you'll catch probably the top 20 players of that year on just those teams. UNC by happenstance stumbled into being a team that plays a fast pace, handful of Burger Boys, and a "name" player that's good that stuck around for a senior year. Unless you're a bball junkie, college bball isn't "must see" like it used to be.

The problem is 2 fold. First there are really only 10-15 legit programs and second off any player with talent will defect to the NBA given the 1st chance. Also the college B-Ball season has no meaning since the tournament essentially lets in any team that's slightly better than mediocre.

NCAA tournament is the best thing in sports

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

I guess it's like everything. shyt falls off.

Man college basketball was soooo great when I was a kid. I couldn't wait to catch games every night on ESPN. Now just puts me to sleep if I throw a game on.

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

Dead ass and they always say some dumb shyt like they play harder or there's more defense

I love what some ESPN guy said about this assumption. I think it was Colin. "I hate when people say that college basketball they play more defense. I say why the hell does Adam Morrison and JJ Redikk score a million points in college and get to the NBA and can't score for shyt, the basket didn't get any higher ect."

 

[OG Talk]

And cacs always say college basketball is better than the NBA

Only because there are more white stars and the players don't get paid..
