Has anyone else noticed that college ball seems to be more "down" this year? There very clearly isn't a great team. It seems like every week someone in the top 5 is losing or having a tough time with an average team, among other top 25 teams having head scratching losses. There is so much more parody than normal in my opinion. I wouldn't put my money on any team to win it all this year. My dad and I were talking about how this may be the year another mid-major, ala George Mason, makes the final 4.

Man I'm really rooting for Northwestern to make it to the tournament this year, and this is the year it could be done for them.

They've got a bunch of solid and experienced talent, and the top of the B1G is not nearly as tough it has been in past seasons.  If they can hold serve at home and pull off some road wins, they should be in prime position to get an invite.

College basketball has been "down" for quite some time. One and dones have ruined it. Transfers have ruined it. NBA-style offenses have ruined it. 

 

I think changing the shot clock to 30 seconds has actually helped, as games seem a bit faster and scoring seems to have gone up a bit. But the NBA just has way too much influence. Players want to get there even if they have no shot, and NBA teams want these kids about 2-3 years earlier than they should be getting them because NBA people all believe they can find the next Lebron/Kobe/Garnett.

Actually the NBA wants to push the age limit to 20 years and two years out of high school, players union won't let them though. 

I think ink the real issue is your point about players leaving early that really have no business leaving and aren't ever going to be NBA players.
