Game Thread 2018-2019 College Basketball Thread

Ya know, Im sure he came off that way, and I think its wrong for me to continue dragging his name through the mud. I have a lot of reasons why I have negative “feelings” about him but its probably best I just drop it.

 

Ouch!

 

I wish we had more come basketball fans.

 

Villanova isnt a tournament team. They have no talent and they needed Quinerly to pop and he's been extremely underwhelming.

 

Im looking forward to the changes the g-league is making in the NBA and I hope it improves both the G-league and College. I love basketball but college ball can be excruciating to watch sometimes.

 

College ball is a better game tha the NBA. The purity, competitiveness, variety of styles of play, and and team-based play...

 

I really disagree.

 

On which part....?

 

College ball is better. Most of the highly ranked guys are great athletes that have never had to learn how to play and wont until they get to the NBA. The 3pt line is too close. The shot clock should just go down to 25 seconds like the NBA, 30 seconds was a step in the right direction.
In the NBA the best players star. Too often in college the Refs star, this isnt all bad at least they call the rules where the nba its optional. Big games like Gonzaga vs UNC a couple years ago its just dumb though.
The best parts of CB to me are the same as CFB, intensely passionate fanbases, the rivalries. Players tend to show more passion too.

I just think the NBA product especially when you get to the playoffs is more consistently good.

 

Which part of the 4 things I listed do you disagree with? The atmosphere is actually another reason I like it that I didnt list.

 

Also, you cant list the refs as a reason the NBA is better. The refs help the stars "star". And a 6 second difference in the shot clock? Meh. Doesnt really make a difference.

 

I can literally list whatever reasons I want just as you can list whatever reasons to like college basketball that you want. I disagreed with the claim that college is better. I wish college was more enjoyable to watch for me but its not.

 

You cant *logically* list that. NBA refs are terrible. They're the worst of the worst and cater to certain players / teams. In college ball, they may be bad but they dont really cater to certain players or colleges, so at least it's fair.

 

Lol, by saying I dislike one, I'm not saying I like the others. I can logically list it. I hate both. I think the pace of the college game is dictated way too much by the refs. The NBA refs suck too. Again my reasoning for liking or disliking something doesn't need your approval. Same as you don't need my approval for liking or disliking something. I disagree that College is better, but it's subjective so... I like the things around college sports more than I like the things around Pro sports, but I find the NBA better than College. You don't have to like those reasons, I could list more reasons? but why...

 

90% of college basketball games are completely unwatchable.

 

Smh.

 

I was just listing things they have that the NBA doesnt. I thought we were comparing overall quality.

It's the normal thing to hate on college ball. I feel like people just look for reasons to dislike it and/or cant get over the fact that they're not as good as NBA players.

 

I dont hate it. People just like different things. I actually really wish I enjoyed it more, because the fandom around it is fun.
