Emphasizing the touch fouls in these early games is ruining the flow of the game

I actually changed the channel today.

Simply can't watch a foul get called each time down the court. There is no flow to the game.

Have to say it has been kind of out of control and hopefully this doesn't stay this way the whole season.

No flow - No Entertainment - Its crap !

I've gone back and forth with this so far.. If the end result is cleaving up the game, I'll take it, last year was as bad a year in a while. You also have some teams the last couple years that would literally foul the entire way down the floor, but rarely called.

I guess I'll take some bad games now if it means better games later.

You sound as dumb as the players. Learn to adjust. Everyone knew this coming, of course it going to take a few weeks for teams to adjust and they will.

Let me ask this. What was wrong with last year's product or the year before?

CBB has never been as popular.

FT shooting teams (good that is) and deep teams will survive early in the November and December.

What makes you guys think they will adjust? I am a huge college bball fan and I'm disgusted with it after one night. All I watched last night was a ft shooting contest (which by the way I have yet to see 1 team hit at a high %). Maybe I'm bitter bc I lost Duke first half by two miss ft's or Pushed Wisky by a miss ft. Anyway I don't see how everyone is talking about "flow". Its a friggin foul every time down the floor. Look at the totals 169 for a Duke game. Every second half is 80 or more. The best players are sitting with fouls early and its not going to improve the game at all. These guys always trying to tinker and fix shit. Just leave it alone. Its become like the NFL. Might as well not play any defense anymore and have a HORSE contest.

So with teams going to the stripe more often,scoring should be higher,so would be safe to say from a betting standpoint,to be taking overs in games now, before books adjust?

i was at the united center last night, and i agree, its absolute Horseshit

Kentucky couldn't hit their FT's and lost, duke can't shoot em either

the game is 1/2 hour longer minimum due to this nonsense

The Santa Clara/San Jose State game was a joke last night. Something like 60 total fouls. They stopped the game every 30 seconds or so. Really killed the flow from a viewer standpoint.

Hey Roll Tide, why don't you just direct your comment towards me? I'm right here.

Funny though, every poster in the thread agrees with me. Question for you...do you ever yell at kids to get off your lawn?

Its not fun to watch the free throw shooting contest. The totals are high as hell already. Tell me the last time a Duke sec half total was over 82
