[QUOTE="decatur jacket, post: 137718, member: 977"] This is about all I had to see for the Duke-UNC game: [MEDIA=vine]Oxj0nYYBDKi[/MEDIA] (will expand on this below) If Rathan-Mayes does not score 30 in the last 5 minutes of that game, FSU loses by 20. He had 5 points through the first 35 minutes of the game. Even if he gets back to his average PPG, FSU still loses by double digits. Repeat the 30 (or even 20) regularly and I might be interested. If all that is needed for great basketball is to go nuts for 5 minutes to lose by 4 instead of 20, then GT games would be much more exciting. I didn't watch any of the KU-KSU game, but KU shooting <40% and just over 15% from beyond the arc does not sound all that great. My feelings about CBB are not due to the players or coaches (although to be <75% from the free throw line for any team should be embarrassing to both coaches and players), but more about the rules that are in place. It has been intentionally made boring. The shot clock is too long. Refs are either calling ticky-tack offensive fouls away from the ball or missing the correct call completely (as above). How many times have you seen a guy get mauled under the basket and no call is made, yet a hand check 20 feet from the basket is called? When the defense does not have to worry about committing fouls, offensive production is hurt. Personally, I think the shot clock should be reduced to 30 seconds. Refs should call contact under the basket more that will allow teams to work the ball into the lane and score more points. CBB does not have the number of pure shooters that the NBA has, so kicking the ball out does not work regularly. (Or in our case, at all.) Give a 6th foul if needed to keep guys in the game. All that should help create some excitement. Initially, it will be difficult as post players will have to adjust to not body slamming guys when they get in the paint, but they will catch on quickly when they see what it does for them on the other end of the court. Just my $0.02... [/QUOTE]
