Be careful sleeping with your mouth open like that. Dangerous situation around the wrong people.

That post doesn't surprise me coming from someone who thinks Romeo would only elevate us to an 8-11 seed in next year's tourney.

So you're not really a College Basketball fan. As USPS says "it always delivers".

I'm not. Just don't really enjoy it. I would much rather watch an NBA game. Outside of IU games I probably watch a max of 5 college games a year. It's been hard for me to get into the tournament without having my team to root for.

Before the B1G tournament many experts said that the week layoff would hurt the teams in the NCAA tournament. Both teams that have punched their ticket to the final 4 both had week layoffs after they won their conference tournaments.

Yeah I want him too. He's excellent... always has been. Thank you for updating me on the rules on when you can want a coach lol

No problem, thank you for initially enlightening us all in how wanting a coach can and cannot work.

 

Edit: lol

This has been arguably the most exciting tournament in years... it’s been absolute madness.

You must actually be sleeping under a rock as your meme suggests.

So why watch any of it including IU basketball? I don't enjoy football, so I don't watch any games. It's easy

Because I love IU and I love IU basketball. It's different when I like a team or a player. I have a vested interest in the outcome of the game. I just don't enjoy college basketball enough to sit down and watch a game between two teams I don't care about.

Exactly the same way, just the opposite for me with the Pacers. Not that difficult of a concept lol.

I love the tournament. Talent level in the NBA is way better, but if you could argue every game is a Game 7 in the tourney. Fun times. Don’t get why people constantly make NBA versus NCAA arguments. They’re completely different. Great and bad for different reasons.

I'm actually the exact same. I think college basketball for the most part is of pretty poor quality when it comes to actual basketball talent. The NBA is the most entertaining sports league to watch for me, the guys at the top of the sport are so insanely skilled it is a marvel to watch every night. 

 

My only two exceptions are the conference tourneys and NCAA tournament. Otherwise I don't really watch outside of IU playing

I definitely get the talent discussion. If we were just watching for the talent aspect of it there is no comparison. I definitely don’t watch it for that reason. The pure madness of a team like Loyola elevating their play to make a final four. Butler and Wichita St of the world becoming a household name just from different tournament runs. In the NBA there are very few upsets. Most years you have one maybe two teams that can win a title. The quality is fantastic so I watch both. But definitely not for the same reasons while enjoying both.

The talent issue is unquestioned. The NBA is so full of marquee players and talent that it’s breath taking to watch. That’s why those players are the best in the world. But I don’t understand the NCAA vs NBA argument either. Both are really fun to watch. More basketball means more fun

The NBA game itself isn't good. I get that the 24 second shot clock makes for a lot of one on one. But watching the Cavs is just awful entertainment. Pacers, Spurs, Warriors, Rockets.. those teams share the ball. Cavs, Thunder, horrible, horrible basketball.

The Cavs are 10th in the league in assists, ahead of three of the four teams you said "share the ball".

I'm just glad it didn't help Purdue. There had been some talks about burnout and fatigue affecting their upperclassmen, and lord knows that team got every break imaginable up until the Haas injury.

Agree. I love both NBA and college basketball. They’re totally different games, and both have their fun and enjoyable reasons to watch.
