not only that, I found most of the games to be really sloppy. The MSU-Auburn game was unwatchable.
my theory is that college bball now is all about these big rugged 23-year old transfers. At least, Houston, Texas Tech, and Auburn are built that way. There is a premium on physical defense and offensive rebounding. It sort of ends up drowning out a lot of the great athletic skill play. The athletic play is still there, but it’s sort of taken a back seat.
Duke seems to be the exception this year, but that’s because they have three man-child freshmen that have the physicality of 23-year olds.
