All these high scoring NCAA Tournament games have been so much fun to watch

nit scores are up a bit

30 sec shot clock

Part of sports, especially football and basketball is understanding the beauty of well played defense. Is this as exciting as a high-scoring game? Absolutely not. That being said, it's still very very impressive to me.

could you be a bigger gaping vagina?

I can safely say, if you're going to try to run with Kentucky you're probably asking for a loss. So I totally expect any of their games from here on out to be teams slowing them down into the half-court. And I'd probably say the same for a team like UNC as well after watching them against Arkansas yesterday. Teams have figured out if they want a shot at beating someone that has them beat in size and talent, it's to slow down the game and limit the offensive possessions.

The officiating doesn't do anybody any favors either when it comes to pace of game.

All that said, the worst possible example you could use to represent the whole bunch in scoring is Michigan State and Virginia. Neither has been known for a high powered offense and have very good defenses.

Good defense can be great, but they were playing with lids on the rims in the first half. It can be hard to watch if no one hits a field goal.
