Why is it that people who watch the NCAA don't watch the NBA?


Recommended Posts

Most people that are into March Madness aren't into NBA...what's up with that?

Do you think that college ball is more exciting than NBA? It sometimes looks kinda sloppy INHO...

I like college bball better than the NBA because of two reasons. One I used to play in college so I know how it is and two I think they play harder because they don't have million dollar contracts and for some reason they play better defense. cwm3.gif

For the same reason female b-ball is not as popular. NBA can get pretty repetitive and boring sometimes. Pro teams try to re-apply the same formula that gets the wins for them, the technicalities of it take away some of the excitement from the game. I mean look at Utah Jazz, for the past 15 years you can commentate their games blindfolded,"Stockton to Malone in the paint, Scores!" In college there's less talent to be that technical, teams rely other factors like hussle, zone defenses, 11 men rotations (K-tucky), and just general hard work all game. College ball leaves more to the imagination, gives you more hope that something exciting might happen.

ooooooo good topic smile.gif

i watch both...

but college ball is much better b/c its more intense. you see the guys goign out there trying to win and(excuse the cliche) giving their all for the pure love of the game.. they bust their asses and always give 110% b/c they know that nothing is set in stone..

guys in the nba are lazy, and the games get monotonous and boring a lot of the time(imho)

Do or Die baby. NCAAs single elimination sudden death format makes each game win or go home. NBAs got too many games watered down who cares format. Plus NBAs got too many punks, babies crying for thier mommy. Too much flash not enough substance. Don't mean substance abuse either got enough of that.

Everything seems clearer and whiter than ever before, as if great spotlights had been turned on.

There is no more precise moment in life than this, the WHITE MOMENT, and you will work hard for years, just to taste it again.''Yuri Vlason. -----------PM sux email is better-------> boa_boy@yahoo.com hapfac01.gif

BECAUSE THE NBA IS BORING AND THEY PLAY WAY TOOOO MANY GAMES TO HAVE ANY SORT OF EXITEMENT INVOLVED. PLUS THEY ARE ALL OVER PAID AND SPOILED LIKE LITTLE BABIES. LOOK AT THE NCAA TOURNEY, ALL THE UPSETS AND ALL THE EMOTIONS

I must agree with all of you who said that college ball is way more exciting than NBA. The level of intensity in college is much higher than in the NBA. I am a huge fan and must admit that March is one of my favorite times of the year....you really can't beat tournament time....

I do have to say that I am a die hard UConn fan (I know, cut me a break)and am a bit embarassed to see them in the NIT>....but oh well....there's always next year.....right??

Who do you all think will take it this year??

With the way the season has been so far it's

definitely up for grabs....

I will go so far as to say the NCAA tourney is the best thing in sports. Nothing glues me to the television like it, and nothing else has so much emotion and excitement (except maybe the World Cup but that only comes around every 4 years.)

College Hoops is just way more exciting...and anything can happen.

The NBA just seems to predictable, plus generally people have personal associations or ties to College teams (for instance they went to school there).

GO MARYLAND!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree totally...teams that have shot from super tiny schools with players that are doing because they ENJOY playing...that's what I like the most. Not the best athletes win all the time, but the best system wins!

You have all touched on the right reasons why the NCAA tournament is better than the NBA regular season ... the pros only get interesting when the playoffs start and they actually get down to playing defense.

Nothing is worse than a regular season NBA game. The league is too big and the season is too long. I don't care if they are making $10 million a year guaranteed - would you give a shit when the Grizzlies or Clippers came to town? And they games run on far too long. Here's an idea: Why not go to two 20 minute halves like college? Part of college ball's excitement is that the games are short - mistakes are costly and great plays have deeper impact.

But the single-game elimination format is what makes March Madness so compelling. Who doesn't get excited when some bumpkin school like Northwest Louisiana Tech knocks off an Indiana or a North Carolina in the first round? You will not find that kind of parity in any other sport.
