Are you a Wisconsin fan? That team has the best offense in the nation. Of course they are pleasant to watch!
As a general rule, I prefer the college game as it was about 10 years ago. Lots of style clashes, passing/motion teams vs drive and kick teams vs the few teams with a solid post-up big man. On the defensive side you had teams playing zone vs switching man vs press man.
Now it seems like everybody's doing more or less the same thing, with a few exceptions. Play physical as hell on defense, chuck it and rebound on offense.
Part of my pain is that I've watched a lot less college ball over the last few years due to my team's constant suckiness. So it's still a rude awakening when I turn on a tourney game these days. My expectations are out of date.
Teams are getting more physical cause the midrange jumper is literally useless in any basketball game. You either bang inside or chuck a three, and that's the fault of the three point line. Im prolly the only person still who thinks the 3 pount line is bad for the game, but its just mirroring the NBA game when they found out the same thing,
Honestly, the game just needs to move the three point line out more towards NBA range and that will fix a lot of issues and space out the floor more. Teams like Kentucky are physical because of how huge they are, there's literally no space on the court.
I think there's still a lot of styles, and I think that zone defense is kind of stupid (it only works because college players cant shoot yet, and doesnt help players develop the ability to defend well) but the game is still fun. This year is a down year talent wise, especially offensively, but the defense has been a solutely superb.
I generally like more defensive style which is why I may like college b-ball this year so much, I am a wiscy fan and maybe thats why I like physical defense so much lol from dealing with years past when our offense was mediocre at best.
this has probably been the worst sweet sixteen though, there were teams like ucla that had no business being in there, and a team like wvu that plays a defensive style that is not gonna beat good teams.
Tomorrow and sundays games should be fantastic. Wiscy vs Arizona will be an awesome game (two top 4 teams are playing each other in the elite eight, good job selection committee!), Duke Gonzaga will be great, Notre Dame and Kentucky could be good, and the MSU vs Louisville game will feature two of the best 2 coaches in the game
