This is exactly what we don't need on here. I assume one using the word guido for his id name would be Italian or in your words a wap? Let's not become racists here. We're degenerate gamblers of all colors. This is the kind of classless garbage that covers should band. Not the hot avatar chics that everyone had posted before. How is the advertising world look promoting this?

Those who think they are watching truly high level or constantly entertaining basketball in this tournament are mistaken. Victims of mass marketing and media hype. The NCAA game has devolved into a tedious affair which produces very few quality teams or games. A borefest.
The NCAA product is clearly inferior to the NBA and serves to generate millions of dollars for everyone except the main party involved---the players themselves. Shameful.
Here are 5 NBA games, just in the past 5 days, which were so much better than every tourney game so far(with the exception of maybe Harvard-New Mexico).
1.Heat-Celtics
2.Nuggets-Bulls
3.Nuggets-Thunder
4.Heat-Cavaliers
5.Thunder-Grizzlies
Once the NBA playoffs start, it will only take a a week or so to have multiple fantastic games which will outnumber anything of true quality we will see the remainder of this tourney.
Give me the NBA anyday, anytime. The NCAA used to be fun. It's almost frighteningly bad now.

Doubleup4life- this is by far one of the worst posts I've seen all year on covers. If you don't like college basketball then why are you posting in this forum? I love college basketball even like it more then the NBA but that's just my opinion. 35 sec for the shotclock isn't bad. It actually gives the offense a chance to run plays and play as a team and no one on one ball like most of the NBA. College talent level may be down a bit this year but who care it's awesome so much parity the tourney is wide open this year it's going to be a great march. There is so much more passion in college basketball these kids are playing their butts off and not being paid. The same can't be said about the NBA. The defense in the NBA is a joke people may complain and think watching Georgetown or Wisconsin is atrocious because its usually really low scoring but at least they play defense. Wisconsin defense is the reason they win games they lock you down. Defense is a joke in the NBA until the playoffs begin.
Defense isnt all that great the scores are down cause teams do nothing but jack up threes and most of them are wide open and they are just flat out missed .i have all of the illinois games from 89 on vhs tapes and ldevel of play back than is a lot better

Even if the quality of play isn't as good as the nba it doesn't matter because the system we get in college bball with the tournament far outdoes what the nba has but more importantly outdoes college football. Im not even comparing college bball to the nba but more to football. March is the best time of year. Cant wait for the beef bowl in December!!

that being said the nba is far better than college football. Washing fleas off my dog is more fun than watching college football bowl season. Most meaningless time of year

I rarely post but I feel strongly about this topic.
I agree with the OP that college basketball during the regular season is close to unwatchable.25 turnovers, teams that shoot 60 percent as a team from the FT line,scoring droughts of 8-10 minutes are too common these days.I grew up in Virginia in the 80s and spent my time trying to decide who I hated more-Carolina or Duke.Back then every conference game was so much more meaningful.The crowds were better just because of the genuine excitement of the rivalries,both between the schools and between the players themselves.
But it's not anybodys' fault.High school players should always have the right to become a professional if somebody wants to pay them.It's really just a sad bi-product and I hate the fact that my interest has dissolved so much over the years because I feel like I've lost one of the sports I really was passionate about and always took some of the sting away after football season ends.
That being said-I still love the tournament.Especially the first two days.You just can't generate the emotion that comes from games like the Harvard upset last night or even the crumbling of Davidson in pro sports or even college football because it happens so fast.It's such a longshot really for almost all the teams in the tournament to win it, but every one of them thinks they can do it.Love watching it unfold.
Totaly agree with what he is saying

I just love how the NCAA/TV markets advertise this tourney on all the "huge upsets". They make such a huge deal when a higher seed wins. Hell half the time (as we degenerates know) the higher seed is the favorite. They might as well say, "Hey come watch this tourney and see all the upsets, that way we get more viewers and more advertisement money."
Don't get me wrong, I love March Maddness but all this David has beaten Goliath stuff that the announcers yell when a higher seed wins gets really old.
Now FGC, that's something no one expected. However, Oregon, Wichita St, and La Salle are solid teams and I'm not surprised to see them in the sweet 16, even though I didn't pick any of them.
I heard JT the Brick say the other night on sports talk radio that his upset special was #11 Minnesota over #6 UCLA. I was cracking up driving down the highway, yeah way to go out on a limb JT, picking the 11 seed who also happened to be the 3 point favorite!

I feel the same way about people making a big deal of a 12 beating a 5 or like you said minny upsetting ucla when they are favored. However not everyone is looking at it from a gambling point of view and they are seeded 11th. Still though, picking an 11 to "upset" a 6 is a joke
