[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 682506, member: 2299"] Yes. For starters the 85 championship game was an all time classic and not exactly a normal game by that era's standards. You're also forgetting that game featured Nova having almost as many turnovers as made shots despite playing so well. Second, 85 was the last year before a shotclock and before the advent of the 3 point line. Those two things combined make it obvious that efficiency as you described it would go up. There was no real pressure for teams to force the issue, and they could just work the ball as long as they wanted. That obviously had a huge impact on how teams approached offense. The shot clock is a huge defensive tool that does lead to some less efficient possessions but it also cuts out a lot of other issues that used to plague college basketball. [/QUOTE]
