January 14, 201313 yr No dominate teams in my opinion . Not hating on Louisville but if they are the best team in the NCAA this year as they are ranked now:confused: it is extremely weak in my opinion . Not to mention in my Opinion Michigan gets hosed on rankings this week:idunno: . They lose to a better team on the road than :puke:Duke did and fell to 5th in rankings . Hard to understand rankings sometimes :confused:, again my opinion Michigan is the best team in the country if any one stands out .
January 15, 201313 yr I think you make a good point, but by the same token, it should make for a really exciting tournament come March.
January 15, 201313 yr I don't think it's weak in any fashion....I would say the wealth is more spread out...and that's good for the sport.
January 15, 201313 yr If all the players that left early for the NBA that are in the D-league or riding the pine would still be in college it would be ALOT better.
January 15, 201313 yr Fans of unranked team thinks league lacks talent, not entertaining; film at 11.
January 15, 201313 yr Fans of unranked team thinks league lacks talent, not entertaining; film at 11. Some of us have been saying this all year. Yes, college basketball is down because the talent level is down. It's very competitive & there isn't a dominant team, but the talent level is very crappy.
January 15, 201313 yr Take one look at a mock draft and see how terrible this years class is overall. Not having 1 or 2 dominant teams isn't a bad thing. Going to be a crazy tournament.
January 15, 201313 yr If college basketball is that down, and UK doesn't make the tournament, what does that say about them
January 15, 201313 yr If college basketball is that down, and UK doesn't make the tournament, what does that say about them They suck.
January 15, 201313 yr Fans of unranked team thinks league lacks talent, not entertaining; film at 11. Experts all over calling this the weakest draft in history...
January 15, 201313 yr Experts all over calling this the weakest draft in history... I think that's an excellent way to segue to a point I want to make: is the draft the best way to evaluate the talent level of a season? Look at two players on Louisville's roster: Russ Smith and Chane Behanan. Russ is an elite scorer and defender who MIGHT get a look at the next level but that's only because he's garnered so much praise and national attention in the past few weeks. I would still say Smith having his name called by David Stern is a dubious proposition. Chane is the classic tweener forward, valuable in college and borderline in the league. Neither of these two players are going to blow away any NBA scout, largely due to one attribute that they both lack- elite size. Does that make them less talented? I don't think it makes them less fun to watch, just less dominant. I think that's the difference, because a couple of inches is the only thing separating Russ Smith from being an absolute lock as a top 10 pick this year.
January 15, 201313 yr Experts all over calling this the weakest draft in history... Doesn't mean this is a bad season of college basketball. Lack of pro talent doesn't make the season weak.
January 15, 201313 yr Doesn't mean this is a bad season of college basketball. Lack of pro talent doesn't make the season weak. The post I quoted said "fans of unranked teams think league lacks talent" I was simply adding that it isn't only fans of unranked teams who think that.
