The NCAA basketball product has kind of went to shit. I watched some basketball over the weekend and the offensive talent is pretty bad. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been watching more NBA this season or what, but the Texas-KU game may have been some of the worst basketball I’ve seen since watching my little nephew play his first basketball game with the other 1st graders. They just dribble around and pass for 20-30 seconds and then force up some shot that they’re obviously not talented enough to make. The final minute of an NBA game can have 3-4 back and forth lead changes because the offensive talent is insane. I watched the last 4 minutes of a game and there were 4 free throws to get it into OT. The game has become a joke with the talent deciding to go overseas for their 1 year out of high school before the draft now.
I’m sure March Madness will still be fun, but not from a complete talent perspective. The main KU guy had 1 basket the other night and he’s a potential “lottery pick” There’s a reason it’s taking some of these college players some extra time in the G league to prepare for the NBA nowadays. The NCAA isn’t preparing them for top competition at all anymore.
