Duke is not a one man team. They have 3 other first roundersThey really have formed an annoyingly well balanced team
I totally agree with the NBA take but BYU/Bama is a product of BYU only being able to stay in games by making 3’s and also playing zero defense. If you’re going to just let elite shooters take wide open threes why not hoist away.NBA basketball is super boring as it is 3 pointers and pick & roll. College basketball is heading there fast, if not now (Alabama, BYU, etc.). They are teaching this type of ball to kids growing up, no long 2's but shoot layups and 3 pointers.
That was my point…Duke is not a one man team. They have 3 other first rounders
I'm in it's hoops.Heck, junkies like me will tune out from boredom.
I'm sure there aren't that many junkies ready to tune out, so maybe it won't matter, but this definitely isn't a draw.
I’m one of those, it’s almost nostalgic to have upsets.It’ll take a few years of this for the ratings to be hit. But if those first round games become boring, you’re going to see a huge hit in ratings over time as less people take time away from working to watch. It’s not like people were going to immediately turn off the games this year because there were so few upsets. But it’ll slowly deteriorate until the tournament only matters to true CBB fans.
Last time I saw a block/charge might have been the infamous ISU/MSU game in the Elight Eight.Blarge in the Duke AZ game
What? I don't want to see college b-ball to become more like the NBA either, but that's a strange statement to make.I’m sure it’s been said, but if the future of basketball is just 3 point shooting, the sport will die quickly
Can’t stand watching the NBA because of this. And Alabama took 66 shot attempts with 51 of those 3 point attempts
That’s not how basketball was intended to be played
I love the three point fests!What? I don't want to see college b-ball to become more like the NBA either, but that's a strange statement to make.
Scoring more points than your opponent and winning the game is the intent.
We either evolve with the times or get left behind, whether we like it or not.
I was not expecting the free throw discrepancy in this Duke/zona game, or if there was I wasn’t expecting it to go zonas way

Shooting?Wtf was Love doing?
True. But if the name of the game is simply who can make the most three pointers, then is it really a basketball game or a three point contest?What? I don't want to see college b-ball to become more like the NBA either, but that's a strange statement to make.

Losing in the margins. Reminded me of the end of the Wisconsin-BYU first half.Wtf was Love doing?
With 9 seconds left from 26 feet? That's dumb. Cost them 3 at the other end.Shooting?
