I Hate College Hoops And I Have 1 Wrong, Fooz

Why do you feel the need to continually profess the supposed inferiority of college sports . You seem very insecure to me.

It took you 12 years to get through college? 

Don't you badmouth Southeastern Cow College, boy!  The Herd will run right over you!  MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As is often the case in sports debates (or any discussion, really), the people badmouthing college basketball are speaking in generalizations and clearly do not watch the game. Obviously the players are less talented, but what constitutes a 'better product' is in the eye of the beholder. Many college games are defensive struggles that end in 47-44 final scores. But is that more or less compelling than a last place team mailing it in for a lottery pick or just plain getting blown out by one of the better teams that exist in the league? NCAA and NBA both feature compelling matchups and complete mismatches, it happens. And honestly, I don't find 123-122 final scores any more or less compelling than a 63-62 final score if both came down to the wire. If you love the game, then both should be enjoyable.

I'm a basketball fan, period. I like college and the pros because I love the game. I recognize the contrasting styles of play but still appreciate both equally. I'd vote NBA because I want to see the greatest players make incredible plays night in and night out; but I'm not going to discount what the college game has to offer by making generic statements like 'nobody plays defense' (when the score is low because most coaches preach defense more than offense, because talent can't be handed out to everyone but literally anyone can play defense), or 'there is no ball movement in college' (because the game of basketball cannot be played without ball movement-- seriously, watch a full game and tell me you don't see flashes of great offense even if it isn't sustained throughout the entire game).

Everyone has their preference and there's no right or wrong answer to that question. I simply disagree with the premise that the college game is complete garbage-- especially when the observations being made in favor of that argument are patently false.

I can tell that you have very limited knowledge about college basketball. I will not argue with someone who is arguing about a subject they are not educated on.


Goodbye.

You're contradicting yourself.  If the offense sucks and nobody moves without the ball, why would teams 'look pathetic' when playing man defense?  Surely you can stay with your man if he isn't moving at all?  Regardless, given the choice I'd take a great NBA matchup over a great NCAA matchup, so we're in agreement there.  I just think your argument is flawed.
