I was only responding to the teams you listed to support that this was a normal year. Gonzaga would definitely be one of the usuals up top.

With no dominant teams, a glaring lack of star power and a regular season bogged down by mediocrity, college basketball is slogging through its worst season of this generation. There’s a lack of heroes to root for and villains to cheer against, and the sport has managed to make the unpredictable become mundane.

With top collegiate talent fleeing the sport at unprecedented rates and the NCAA lacking the flexibility to accommodate those attempting to come (see Wiseman, James), this season has unfolded with all the good vibes of three hours of uninterrupted airplane turbulence.

Duke and Kentucky are always the villains to root against.

As for heroes, I would say any of the nontraditional teams that are in the top 10 would be great.

That just feels like a lazy take to support a point that is shaky at best to start.

Indiana 2nd half is the biggest lock in the history of sports betting

It's always fun when Indiana loses. They've sucked for years and yet their fans still act like they're some basketball royalty or powerhouse.

The Hall wins at Nova. I had no idea they were 10-1 in conference.

Virginia battled back and made it a good game against Louisville. Cards pulled away at the end.

Tar Heels look good right now.

Wtf are the uniforms for Duke & UNC. Have they ever both worn blue before? Looks terrible.

Virginia shot out of their minds today. They had a couple guys who were unconscious from three. One of them averaged 5 ppg and scored 27

Apparently, they're inspired by some UNC retro jersey.

Word.

Refs won’t be able to help them there because it’s in the leagues best interest to get another team in

Agreed. We can hang with them. It's the fricken Duquesne and Davidsons that give us fits.

Davidson was just an all around bad game, I’d love another shot at them.

The dukes scare the hell out of me, I’d rather play Baylor or Gonzaga
