all this tournament proves is how bad college basketball is

can you imagine far more talented teams not being able to put games away so the game becomes a five minute game. this tournament is a joke. previous final four teams like nc, duke, unlv, ind, gtwn, hou, ucla, mich st, ind st, vill, ncst. would have had a walk in the park with the watered down talent today.

Well this is what you get most every year. As sometimes the best teams dont always move along to the final four. I guess thats why they say that "Anything" can, an most always does happen on a neutral court. The Refs have a small part so far this year. JMHO

You must have had a bad run in this tournament. It's called a changing of the guard.

It's fun and it is the most exciting time of the year for a sports bettor.

Teams are not as good tis year as in year's past. More parity for whatever reason.

Last year's championship teams were better than anyone that can represent this year.

Perhaps with more people playing basketball, there are just more quality players in the pool. With more quality players, some will be forced to the second and third tier programs. Additionally with more people playing, I'm guessing the talent between the best player and the 1000th best player is much less now than it was 15 years ago. Just a thought.

With more and more kids leaving early to play in the NBA I think it will make all games in future NCAA tourneys closer in all rounds.

Not that much difference between the Major and mid major conferences when players leave early for the NBA.

I think the downside is you see the quality of play will not be as good because of this.

Also we will never see a Bird- Magic Final in are lives again because they would both be in the NBA before it could happen.

Maybe you can get more satisfaction watching millionare Nba players whine about money and minutes. Bunch of thugs. Enjoy the competiotion on what it represents. This by far is the best time of year for sports
