In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

The ACC has 6 teams in the Sweet 16....as their slogan goes, "Better Bring Your A Game"

I'm I the the only one that could really care less about the rest of these games (I used to be hooked to these games)? Hell, seemed like it was more fun earlier on with the Cinderellas in there. With the arenas being half full most of the games, seems like fans are very apathetic also. I heard a report saying that they are having to need help from corporations to try to fill the stands (obviously to no avail).  Seems like these NCAAB games are similar to what happened with the downgrade of most of the college football bowl games.

My Canes had a good run but to be honest I prefer the NBA. It's simply a more well played game.

I can understand why.

Personally, I prefer to watch NCAA Division II mens BB. There is a lot of talent there and there are lots of upper classman playing, since the "one and done" crowd wont be found here.

More upperclassman, better court discipline, more respect for the game.  These guys play because they love it, they dont care about any pro careers or they wouldnt be here.

Especially for those that believe taking 5 steps in a fluid motion is NOT traveling

I ref a kids league and I have parents nagging me on how many steps their kids can take cuz they see it on TV.

It was worse when Ewing played for the Knicks. Kids wanted to take 3.5 steps to the rim.

Then Allen Iverson came along with his underhanded cross dribble which is a ball carry everywhere else in the world.

Lately I had a parent nag me for calling travel when a kid picked up a rolling ball and slid down the floor with his feet in the air. Hello? No you cant call a TO after sliding down the floor for 6 feet!

Too much player favoritism and ungrateful talent roaming the NBA floor. Makes it no fun to watch.
