Men's College Basketball Is a Bad Product
Hi, my name is Gun.
I support MSU in all things but am completely indifferent to the sport of basketball. I don't really like it or dislike it, &, unless MSU is playing, it's a completely irrelevant part of my life.
That being said, I am the exact type of fan college basketball needs to be targeting if the sport is to grow. I am somewhat invested, due to MSU & willing to watch under certain circumstances. The structure of the game SHOULD be trying to draw me in.
That being said, after watching the grace, rhythm & crispness of the lady's game last night & comparing that to the rugby match I am currently watching, men's basketball is a bad product played by exceptional athletes.
Problem is, I'm not really sure how we got here. I remember the game having rhythm with Darrell Wilson, Ray Allen, Timmy Bowers, & now all is see is are great athletes with no skill playing rugby.
Perhaps the one & done & transfers has created a landscape where so many teams are young & lack year to year continuity, that they just simply lack the time & chemistry to develop a pretty game.
However, in the girls game, they stay for 4 years & you know their names. Teams build over time, rivalries develop, etc.
Sign me up for watching girls basketball, because the men's version is painful on my eyes.
