It's not better.

The games can be more exciting because there are way fewer of them, so each game matters more and also the crowds are packed with young people going nuts. March Madness is also probably the most exciting sports post-season of any sport. The stakes are at the highest in every game, and for many/most there's no next time.

But the quality of play is nowhere near the NBA. This can't really be disputed.

Everything you said just proved why college ball is better.

The "quality of play" is largely irrelevant.

The exact same arguments could be applied to college football vs. NFL (with even weaker distinctions because football doesn't have March Madness and the regular seasons are virtually the same length), but any sports fan with half a brain knows that college football is the better product.

I am conceding that college basketball has superficial excitement factors and if someone really enjoys that aspect as opposed to seeing the best basketball players in the world then sure, I can see why someone might prefer college to pro bball.

It's also fun to root for your team if they are good because it is a tight knit community that you really feel part of as opposed to just generally rooting for the pro team in your geographic area.

I like watching the incredible shit NBA players can do and appreciate watching the highest level of play. I like the long season, I like the long playoffs.

Quality of play is relevant when discussing watching D2 vs high D1. Not with high D1 vs NBA. They are different games.

they made an important rule change to up the pace this year:

after a defensive foul, the shot clock is only reset to 20 seconds, rather than 30. They will likely make the same change for after an offensive rebound that hits the rim soon.

Good teams don't do this until late in the game when they have the lead.

The pace of last night's Duke vs. Michigan State, for example, was really good.

Kentucky-Kansas was also really fast-paced, but super sloppy

Just as an example, Duke averaged 71 possessions per 40 minutes (1.775 possessions per minute) last year.

Average pace in the NBA this season is 98 possession per 48 minutes (2.05 possession per minute) and that's just the average so several teams are even playing faster.

It's fine if you like the college game better, but I just prefer the NBA aesthetically.

The european influence has been huge. There is tons of ball movement and almost everyone on the floor can shoot. There are few teams that rely on isolation offense as their primary strategy.

I kind of get what you are saying. I don't really enjoy watching golden state because half their starting lineup has unlimited range. So it almost feels like they don't even have to work to score. I like seeing a play unfold, ball movement, find an open guy. It's unsatisfying to watch circus 3s.

They should just let melo run with the bench unit and then Westbrook and PG can dominate together

I can't stand how DIRTY recruiting is and I cannot stand the college basketball celebrity journalist culture (Dick V) who tacitly approve of the Calipari's of the world doing shady things. Even promotes them as role model coaches. It's a bunch of street nigs who don't want to go to class, all going to the same 5-10 schools, and over time basically only 5-10 schools ever really have a shot at winning a title. I think the tournament is a lot of fun, but in the end, it's always going to be one of a few schools. I particularly hate how Kentucky recruits, how Duke seems to get treated by refs, how kids are picking schools based on the fucking corporate ties, the AAU shenanigans, and in some ways how your entire year is judged by March which in some ways devalues the entire season. Long rant there, but I was thinking about it during yesterday's State Farm games in Chicago with Duke, MSU, KU, and UK ... it's basically two tiers: a few super elite NY Yankee like clubs competing for players from the ESPN top 50, all sharing Final 4 bids and titles, and then the other tier of "also rans"

It brings me to tears to think about how close some of the "also rans" have gotten, but almost in every single case, the "blue blood" wins the title

WHY BOTHER? All that remains of a Wichita State magical season is some banner in their gym -- dude's lost in the Sweet 16

but obviously aside from the tourney I love how it allows for smaller schools to field something competitive, much easier to do it in basketball than football, and there are some magical moments ... but on the whole I don't think an ordinary tuesday night Iowa State vs TCU game is going to be any better than the Raptors vs the Bulls or something -- March upsets is what gets people hooked to the college game ... I just wish it weren't dominated in the end by the same revolving door of schools

but that's kind of my point

they won't win it all. Duke, KU, Kentucky will, and it's the same schools who basically get remembered for "winning" the season, the accomplishment of WSU would be basically whatever WSU fans remember

there's a slight emphasis on just being in the final four, so that's validation within itself, but I doubt anyone is like omg, Oregon basketball! because of last year

this is sort of a weird critique that I'm on ... my biggest problem is the dirty recruiting that happens ... I just happen to hate how the same schools always win and all the sport cares about is that tournament's ending

Kentucky has no size whatsoever, as demonstrated by Azabooki (or however the fuck his name is spelled) exploiting the shit out of them last night. They are all a bunch of scrawny (albeit long) kids.

Duke, on the other hand, has Bagley and Carter starting (2 near-7 footers) plus Boulden and DeLaurier off the bench. Only thing that will stop them is if Grayson Allen has a shit shooting night and he or the rest of their guards get in foul trouble

you could've said the same thing about butler 15 years ago

it's basically the opposite of CFB. cfb has a larger pool of "top tier" teams but the teams in this pool almost NEVER change; there are cycles like alabama going from terrible to insane or texas's current downswing, but the set of schools capable of winning championships is damn near static. cbb has a smaller pool but teams really can rise from almost nothing (gonzaga, butler) even if it is a long process. arizona and uconn were basically nobodies until the late 80s/early 90s, and florida was total garbage until the late 90s.

I think there's something to be said that in both NBA and NFL the players are almost too good, there is too much preparation and scouting and too much efficiency.

What this leads to is minimal strategic differences. Every team in the NFL is running pretty close to the same offense, with some slight variations (Chiefs and Eagles this year are doing things a bit differently, not sure who else, I honestly don't watch a ton of NFL).

It's similar w/ the NBA. The lack of zone as a legitimate option creates offenses where it's just basically down screen, 2-man, diagonal on a double, ball screen. You don't see much of a motion offense by anyone.

I think there's something to be said for a larger discrepancy between the best and worst players on the court/field and having to account for bigger mismatches frequently.

Also, I watch college football/basketball and it's a bunch of shit I can't do, just like the pro level. The fact that they're doing shit that's even more beyond my capabilities, doesn't impact my viewing a whole lot more.

I thought the Warriors a few years back were fun to watch. I think they've gotten a little less entertaining.

Spacing and ball movement really are the keys to entertaining basketball. It's why women's basketball is the worst shit to watch in the world. It's why sometimes the NBA becomes a miserable slog. When teams are running iso play after iso play, it's not fun to watch.

its weird we both agree on what can make basketball shitty. the nba consciously moved away from lots of isos by making it ok for teams to play zone defense. so now teams get rewarded for ball movement, spacing and finding open shooters (ideally in the corners). The bread and butter of nba offense is now high pick and roll with an explosive perimeter player, not straight iso.
