Every game today is 20-20 at half. No one wants to watch that. NBA doubles those scores.

The Duke game was great, but the other ones I've watched were boring.

Common misnomer in CBB. It has far more to do with pace than defensive effort. Median pace in CBB this year was 69.2 possessions per 40 minutes. That translates to 83 possessions per 48 minutes. NBA median was 99.9.

Good D, or just bad O and slower O?

1) Obviously the O is worse than the NBA. The NBA is full of NBA players. Relatively few players on even the best college teams will ever play extended time on an NBA roster.

2) The O is slower because to create good shots with worse players, you need to run offensive sets, move the ball side to side, get guys set up in good position on the block, etc. That all takes time. This is made more difficult without the spacing provided by the NBA 3-point line (and NBA 3-point shooters).

Then, you have to score on defenses like UVA, TTU, Duke, etc. who are busting their arse every possession with big-time athletes.

Taking your time is smart for most teams.

and if there were more scoring, they'd be complaining that there's no defense

I completely agree. When you're less talented, you want fewer possessions to increase the volatility of each possession.
