dfwabel Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Just a question...has anyone else almost lost complete interest in the NCAA basketball regular season? I don't know if it is because I'm older and have less time to devote to watching sports or its because the NBA has ruined it. Maybe both...The NBA has not ruined the game, the game has done it to itself through the following:1-Clutching and grabbing from defenders although this season has a greater emphasis on calling fouls. This season is much more watchable than the last decade previously was. 2-It is coach-driven, not player driven. Coaches are too controlling and hinder creativity.3-There still is a disconnect between the majority of HS rules to the NCAA game. Only six states use a shot clock.

sportsfan0518 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Creighton obliterates #4 Villanova on the road and at one time, lead by 40! Creighton is a pretty underrated team to be honest. They remind me of VCU from 2011 since they are an unbelievable shooting the three. Doug McDermott is scary good, and is my pick for the Naismith PoY so far.

Billy B Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Ugh, Illinois erased a 20 point first half deficit to finally take the lead against Iowa with about 5 minutes left only to end up losing. First home loss to Iowa since 1999. Seven straight losses in a row. If you like watching a basketball team that can't make a jump shot (or layup, really) be sure to tune in to BTN on Tuesday night.

DL Watt Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 So the Cats drop one spot to #2. Not surprising at all to me, but many are complaining that after falling to an unranked team they should have slid down the polls even further. Does anyone else make a strong case for #2 in your eyes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 There is no consensus #2 this year. Each team has either a bad loss or no good wins. Doesn't matter though, as it's still relatively early. Syracuse is the clear #1, but not because it's been super dominant. They've had several close ones and had some lucky bounces. However, they could easily be 17-3 and out of the top ten. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
